$http upload

[illmill 87]

I'm trying to upload a profile image to Linkedin and I'm not really sure how to go about it.  I haven't used the $http upload feature in aymen's http plugin before.  Aymen mentioned to me that in order to use the plugin for this sort of thing I need to use $http upload.  I'm just not sure where I need to plug in the data.

 

These are the available fields on $http upload:

 

• URL
• Paramaters
• File to Upload
• File param name
• Content Type
• User Agent
• Referrer
• Proxy
• Timeout

I know what to put for URL, User Agent, Referrer, Proxy and Timeout, but I'm not sure about what goes where for the other fields.  When I check out the http headers with fiddler, this is what I get:

POST http://www.linkedin.com/mupld/upload

other header/cookie stuff here....

Content-Disposition: form-data; name="upload_info"

------WebKitFormBoundarykgB2NBmLM2jDlkSd
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="ubot.JPG"
Content-Type: image/jpeg

And then there's a lot of random characters because of the image I'm uploading and then there's this:

------WebKitFormBoundarykgB2NBmLM2jDlkSd
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="callback"

File param name :

Thanks aymen!  I get "Error uploading file.  Operation timed out."

 

 

 

upload_info=value&callback=value&upload_info_with_js=value

 

Do you actually type it just like this, or do you replace 'value' with some value for each parameter?

I'm pretty sure those parameter values need to be replaced with a value... but, I'm not exactly sure what you would replace them with....

you need to scrape those values from the referrer page
