Send a file via "put" command to a URL

[pink]

I am working on adding attachments to records in CouchDB.
I am trying to mimic the following command:

Code: Select all

curl -X PUT http://couch.mad.pink/test_suite_db2/zxsd3324d/bad_luck_friday13.jpg?rev=12-f5f9f6f0af4cb1f113c9794a10daf5bd \
    --data-binary /User/pink/Dropbox/bad_luck_friday13.jpg \
    -H "Cookie: AuthSession=cm9vdDo1NzA0NUVDRTovU5Y6gklEjt27Rn53KlC8TDQ4KQ" \
    -H "Content-Type: image/jpg"

Code: Select all

put "Cookie: AuthSession=cm9vdDo1NzA0NUVDRTovU5Y6gklEjt27Rn53KlC8TDQ4KQ"&cr&"Content-Type: image/jpg" into tHeader
set httpHeaders to tHeader
put "http://localhost/test_suite_db2/zxsd3324d/bad_luck_friday13.jpg?rev=12-f5f9f6f0af4cb1f113c9794a10daf5bd" into tURL

--TRY 1:
put "binfile:/User/pink/Dropbox/bad_luck_friday13.jpg" into tFilePath
put  URL(tFilePath) into URL(tURL)

--TRY 2:
put  URL ("binfile:/User/pink/Dropbox/bad_luck_friday13.jpg") into tFile
put  tFile into URL(tURL)

in both of the above attempts, the file is successfully created at the server, however it is empty

Can anyone suggest another approach?

Hi Greg,
I don't know about CouchDB but I load the img into a card then

Code: Select all

 put the text of img "Image_Test" into tImg
 put base64encode (tImg) into gImageData

and upload gImageData.

Works with mySQL. Oh, I guess I never tried blob.

unfortunately that won't work because CouchDB also works as an http server, image files need to stay images or they won't display

well, after working on this for way too long I have discovered that the following does indeed work:

Code: Select all

put "binfile:/Users/pink/Dropbox/bad_luck_friday13.jpg" into tFilePath
put  URL(tFilePath) into URL(tURL)

Shamefully I have to admit that the problem all this time was a typo in my file path.
