¿Cómo cargar un archivo al servidor con HTTP POST multipart / form-data?

Estoy desarrollando la aplicación Windows Phone 8. Quiero cargar la base de datos SQLite a través del servicio web PHP usando una solicitud HTTP POST con tipo MIME multipart / form-data y una cadena de datos llamada "userid = SOME_ID".

No quiero usar bibliotecas de terceros como HttpClient, RestSharp o MyToolkit. Probé el siguiente código pero no carga el archivo y tampoco me da ningún error. Funciona bien en Android, PHP, etc., por lo que no hay problemas en el servicio web. A continuación se muestra mi código dado (para WP8). que tiene de malo

Busqué en Google y no me estoy poniendo específico para WP8

async void MainPage_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    var file = await Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current.InstalledLocation.GetFileAsync(DBNAME);
    //Below line gives me file with 0 bytes, why? Should I use 
    //IsolatedStorageFile instead of StorageFile
    //var file = await ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder.GetFileAsync(DBNAME);
    byte[] fileBytes = null;
    using (var stream = await file.OpenReadAsync())
    {
        fileBytes = new byte[stream.Size];
        using (var reader = new DataReader(stream))
        {
            await reader.LoadAsync((uint)stream.Size);
            reader.ReadBytes(fileBytes);
        }
    }

    //var res = await HttpPost(Util.UPLOAD_BACKUP, fileBytes);
    HttpPost(fileBytes);
}

private void HttpPost(byte[] file_bytes)
{
    HttpWebRequest httpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://www.myserver.com/upload.php");
    httpWebRequest.ContentType = "multipart/form-data";
    httpWebRequest.Method = "POST";
    var asyncResult = httpWebRequest.BeginGetRequestStream((ar) => { GetRequestStreamCallback(ar, file_bytes); }, httpWebRequest);  
}

private void GetRequestStreamCallback(IAsyncResult asynchronousResult, byte[] postData)  
{
    //DON'T KNOW HOW TO PASS "userid=some_user_id"  
    HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)asynchronousResult.AsyncState;  
    Stream postStream = request.EndGetRequestStream(asynchronousResult);  
    postStream.Write(postData, 0, postData.Length);  
    postStream.Close();  
    var asyncResult = request.BeginGetResponse(new AsyncCallback(GetResponseCallback), request);  
}  

private void GetResponseCallback(IAsyncResult asynchronousResult)  
{  
    HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)asynchronousResult.AsyncState;  
    HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.EndGetResponse(asynchronousResult);  
    Stream streamResponse = response.GetResponseStream();  
    StreamReader streamRead = new StreamReader(streamResponse);  
    string responseString = streamRead.ReadToEnd();  
    streamResponse.Close();  
    streamRead.Close();  
    response.Close();  
}  

También intenté resolver mi problema en Windows 8, pero tampoco funciona.

public async Task Upload(byte[] fileBytes)
{
    using (var client = new HttpClient())
    {
        using (var content = new MultipartFormDataContent("Upload----" + DateTime.Now.ToString(System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)))
        {
            content.Add(new StreamContent(new MemoryStream(fileBytes)));
            //Not sure below line is true or not
            content.Add(new StringContent("userid=farhanW8"));
            using (var message = await client.PostAsync("http://www.myserver.com/upload.php", content))
            {
                var input = await message.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
            }
        }
    }
}

Lo hice usando MultipartFormDataContent: -

HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
MultipartFormDataContent form = new MultipartFormDataContent();

form.Add(new StringContent(username), "username");
form.Add(new StringContent(useremail), "email");
form.Add(new StringContent(password), "password");            
form.Add(new ByteArrayContent(file_bytes, 0, file_bytes.Length), "profile_pic", "hello1.jpg");
HttpResponseMessage response = await httpClient.PostAsync("PostUrl", form);

response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
httpClient.Dispose();
string sd = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;

Aquí está mi código de trabajo final. Mi servicio web necesitaba un archivo (el nombre del parámetro POST era "archivo") y un valor de cadena (el nombre del parámetro POST era "userid").

Estoy muy agradecido con Darin Rousseau por ayudarme.

Esta versión simplista también funciona.

public void UploadMultipart(byte[] file, string filename, string contentType, string url)
{
    var webClient = new WebClient();
    string boundary = "------------------------" + DateTime.Now.Ticks.ToString("x");
    webClient.Headers.Add("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data; boundary=" + boundary);
    var fileData = webClient.Encoding.GetString(file);
    var package = string.Format("--{0}\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name=\"file\"; filename=\"{1}\"\r\nContent-Type: {2}\r\n\r\n{3}\r\n--{0}--\r\n", boundary, filename, contentType, fileData);

    var nfile = webClient.Encoding.GetBytes(package);

    byte[] resp = webClient.UploadData(url, "POST", nfile);
}

Agregue los encabezados adicionales necesarios si es necesario.

He estado jugando un poco y se me ocurrió una solución simplificada y más genérica:

private static string sendHttpRequest(string url, NameValueCollection values, NameValueCollection files = null)
{
    string boundary = "----------------------------" + DateTime.Now.Ticks.ToString("x");
    // The first boundary
    byte[] boundaryBytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("\r\n--" + boundary + "\r\n");
    // The last boundary
    byte[] trailer = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("\r\n--" + boundary + "--\r\n");
    // The first time it itereates, we need to make sure it doesn't put too many new paragraphs down or it completely messes up poor webbrick
    byte[] boundaryBytesF = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("--" + boundary + "\r\n");

    // Create the request and set parameters
    HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create(url);
    request.ContentType = "multipart/form-data; boundary=" + boundary;
    request.Method = "POST";
    request.KeepAlive = true;
    request.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

    // Get request stream
    Stream requestStream = request.GetRequestStream();

    foreach (string key in values.Keys)
    {
        // Write item to stream
        byte[] formItemBytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(string.Format("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"{0}\";\r\n\r\n{1}", key, values[key]));
        requestStream.Write(boundaryBytes, 0, boundaryBytes.Length);
        requestStream.Write(formItemBytes, 0, formItemBytes.Length);
    }

    if (files != null)
    { 
        foreach(string key in files.Keys)
        {
            if(File.Exists(files[key]))
            {
                int bytesRead = 0;
                byte[] buffer = new byte[2048];
                byte[] formItemBytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(string.Format("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"{0}\"; filename=\"{1}\"\r\nContent-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\n", key, files[key]));
                requestStream.Write(boundaryBytes, 0, boundaryBytes.Length);
                requestStream.Write(formItemBytes, 0, formItemBytes.Length);

                using (FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(files[key], FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
                {
                    while ((bytesRead = fileStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) != 0)
                    {
                        // Write file content to stream, byte by byte
                        requestStream.Write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
                    }

                    fileStream.Close();
                }
            }
        }
    }

    // Write trailer and close stream
    requestStream.Write(trailer, 0, trailer.Length);
    requestStream.Close();

    using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(request.GetResponse().GetResponseStream()))
    {
        return reader.ReadToEnd();
    };
}

Puedes usarlo así:

string fileLocation = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments) + Path.DirectorySeparatorChar + "somefile.jpg";
NameValueCollection values = new NameValueCollection();
NameValueCollection files = new NameValueCollection();
values.Add("firstName", "Alan");
files.Add("profilePicture", fileLocation);
sendHttpRequest("http://example.com/handler.php", values, files);

Y en el script PHP puede manejar datos como este:

echo $_POST['firstName'];
$name = $_POST['firstName'];
$image = $_FILES['profilePicture'];
$ds = DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
move_uploaded_file($image['tmp_name'], realpath(dirname(__FILE__)) . $ds . "uploads" . $ds . $image['name']);

Puedes usar esta clase:

using System.Collections.Specialized;
class Post_File
{
    public static void HttpUploadFile(string url, string file, string paramName, string contentType, NameValueCollection nvc)
    {
        string boundary = "---------------------------" + DateTime.Now.Ticks.ToString("x");
        byte[] boundarybytes = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("\r\n--" + boundary + "\r\n");
        byte[] boundarybytesF = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("--" + boundary + "\r\n");  // the first time it itereates, you need to make sure it doesn't put too many new paragraphs down or it completely messes up poor webbrick.  


        HttpWebRequest wr = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
        wr.Method = "POST";
        wr.KeepAlive = true;
        wr.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
        wr.Accept = "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8";
        var nvc2 = new NameValueCollection();
        nvc2.Add("Accepts-Language", "en-us,en;q=0.5");
        wr.Headers.Add(nvc2);
        wr.ContentType = "multipart/form-data; boundary=" + boundary;


        Stream rs = wr.GetRequestStream();

        bool firstLoop = true;
        string formdataTemplate = "Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"{0}\"\r\n\r\n{1}";
        foreach (string key in nvc.Keys)
        {
            if (firstLoop)
            {
                rs.Write(boundarybytesF, 0, boundarybytesF.Length);
                firstLoop = false;
            }
            else
            {
                rs.Write(boundarybytes, 0, boundarybytes.Length);
            }
            string formitem = string.Format(formdataTemplate, key, nvc[key]);
            byte[] formitembytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(formitem);
            rs.Write(formitembytes, 0, formitembytes.Length);
        }
        rs.Write(boundarybytes, 0, boundarybytes.Length);

        string headerTemplate = "Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"{0}\"; filename=\"{1}\"\r\nContent-Type: {2}\r\n\r\n";
        string header = string.Format(headerTemplate, paramName, new FileInfo(file).Name, contentType);
        byte[] headerbytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(header);
        rs.Write(headerbytes, 0, headerbytes.Length);

        FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(file, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
        byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
        int bytesRead = 0;
        while ((bytesRead = fileStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) != 0)
        {
            rs.Write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
        }
        fileStream.Close();

        byte[] trailer = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("\r\n--" + boundary + "--\r\n");
        rs.Write(trailer, 0, trailer.Length);
        rs.Close();

        WebResponse wresp = null;
        try
        {
            wresp = wr.GetResponse();
            Stream stream2 = wresp.GetResponseStream();
            StreamReader reader2 = new StreamReader(stream2);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            if (wresp != null)
            {
                wresp.Close();
                wresp = null;
            }
        }
        finally
        {
            wr = null;
        }
    }
}

usarlo:

NameValueCollection nvc = new NameValueCollection();
//nvc.Add("id", "TTR");
nvc.Add("table_name", "uploadfile");
nvc.Add("commit", "uploadfile");
Post_File.HttpUploadFile("http://example/upload_file.php", @"C:\user\yourfile.docx", "uploadfile", "application/vnd.ms-excel", nvc);

servidor de ejemplo upload_file.php:

m('File upload '.(@copy($_FILES['uploadfile']['tmp_name'],getcwd().'\\'.'/'.$_FILES['uploadfile']['name']) ? 'success' : 'failed'));
function m($msg) {
    echo '<div style="background:#f1f1f1;border:1px solid #ddd;padding:15px;font:14px;text-align:center;font-weight:bold;">';
    echo $msg;
    echo '</div>';
}

Esto es lo que funcionó para mí al enviar el archivo como datos de varios formularios:

    public T HttpPostMultiPartFileStream<T>(string requestURL, string filePath, string fileName)
    {
        string content = null;

        using (MultipartFormDataContent form = new MultipartFormDataContent())
        {
            StreamContent streamContent;
            using (var fileStream = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Open))
            {
                streamContent = new StreamContent(fileStream);

                streamContent.Headers.Add("Content-Type", "application/octet-stream");
                streamContent.Headers.Add("Content-Disposition", string.Format("form-data; name=\"file\"; filename=\"{0}\"", fileName));
                form.Add(streamContent, "file", fileName);

                using (HttpClient client = GetAuthenticatedHttpClient())
                {
                    HttpResponseMessage response = client.PostAsync(requestURL, form).GetAwaiter().GetResult();
                    content = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult();



                    try
                    {
                        return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(content);
                    }
                    catch (Exception ex)
                    {
                        // Log the exception
                    }

                    return default(T);
                }
            }
        }
    }

GetAuthenticatedHttpClient utilizado anteriormente puede ser:

private HttpClient GetAuthenticatedHttpClient()
{
    HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
    httpClient.BaseAddress = new Uri(<yourBaseURL>));
    httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Token, <yourToken>);
    return httpClient;
}

El siguiente código lee un archivo, lo convierte en una matriz de bytes y luego realiza una solicitud al servidor.

    public void PostImage()
    {
        HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
        MultipartFormDataContent form = new MultipartFormDataContent();

        byte[] imagebytearraystring = ImageFileToByteArray(@"C:\Users\Downloads\icon.png");
        form.Add(new ByteArrayContent(imagebytearraystring, 0, imagebytearraystring.Count()), "profile_pic", "hello1.jpg");
        HttpResponseMessage response = httpClient.PostAsync("your url", form).Result;

        httpClient.Dispose();
        string sd = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
    }

    private byte[] ImageFileToByteArray(string fullFilePath)
    {
        FileStream fs = File.OpenRead(fullFilePath);
        byte[] bytes = new byte[fs.Length];
        fs.Read(bytes, 0, Convert.ToInt32(fs.Length));
        fs.Close();
        return bytes;
    }

hola chicos después de un día de búsqueda en la web finalmente resuelvo el problema con el código fuente a continuación espero poder ayudarlos

    public UploadResult UploadFile(string  fileAddress)

Sé que este es un hilo antiguo, pero estaba luchando con esto y me gustaría compartir mi solución.

Esta solución funciona con HttpClienty MultipartFormDataContentdesde System.Net.Http. Puede liberarlo con .NET Core 1.0o superior, o.NET Framework 4.5 o superior.

Como resumen rápido, es un método asincrónico que recibe como parámetros la URL en la que desea realizar el POST, una colección clave / valor para enviar cadenas y una colección clave / valor para enviar archivos.

private static async Task<HttpResponseMessage> Post(string url, NameValueCollection strings, NameValueCollection files)
{
    var formContent = new MultipartFormDataContent(/* If you need a boundary, you can define it here */);

    // Strings
    foreach (string key in strings.Keys)
    {
        string inputName = key;
        string content = strings[key];

        formContent.Add(new StringContent(content), inputName);
    }

    // Files
    foreach (string key in files.Keys)
    {
        string inputName = key;
        string fullPathToFile = files[key];

        FileStream fileStream = File.OpenRead(fullPathToFile);
        var streamContent = new StreamContent(fileStream);
        var fileContent = new ByteArrayContent(streamContent.ReadAsByteArrayAsync().Result);
        formContent.Add(fileContent, inputName, Path.GetFileName(fullPathToFile));
    }

    var myHttpClient = new HttpClient();
    var response = await myHttpClient.PostAsync(url, formContent);
    //string stringContent = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync(); // If you need to read the content

    return response;
}

Puede preparar su POST de esta manera (puede agregar tantas cadenas y archivos como necesite):

string url = @"http://yoursite.com/upload.php"

NameValueCollection strings = new NameValueCollection();
strings.Add("stringInputName1", "The content for input 1");
strings.Add("stringInputNameN", "The content for input N");

NameValueCollection files = new NameValueCollection();
files.Add("fileInputName1", @"FullPathToFile1"); // Path + filename
files.Add("fileInputNameN", @"FullPathToFileN");

Y finalmente, llame al método así:

var result = Post(url, strings, files).GetAwaiter().GetResult();

Si lo desea, puede verificar su código de estado y mostrar el motivo de la siguiente manera:

if (result.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK)
{
    // Logic if all was OK
}
else
{
    // You can show a message like this:
    Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Error. StatusCode: {0} | ReasonPhrase: {1}", result.StatusCode, result.ReasonPhrase));
}

Y si alguien lo necesita, aquí dejo un pequeño ejemplo de cómo recibir almacenar un archivo con PHP (en el otro lado de nuestra aplicación .Net):

<?php

if (isset($_FILES['fileInputName1']) && $_FILES['fileInputName1']['error'] === UPLOAD_ERR_OK)
{
  $fileTmpPath = $_FILES['fileInputName1']['tmp_name'];
  $fileName = $_FILES['fileInputName1']['name'];

  move_uploaded_file($fileTmpPath, '/the/final/path/you/want/' . $fileName);
}

Espero que os sea de utilidad, estoy atento a vuestras consultas.

Funciona para Windows Phone 8.1. Puedes probar esto.

Para las personas que buscan un problema prohibido 403 mientras intentan cargar en forma de varias partes, lo siguiente puede ayudar, ya que, dependiendo de la configuración del servidor, puede obtener MULTIPART_STRICT_ERROR "! @Eq 0" debido a encabezados de MultipartFormDataContent incorrectos. Tenga en cuenta que ambas variables de etiqueta de imagen / nombre de archivo incluyen comillas (\ "), por ejemplo, filename =" \ "myfile.png \" ".

    MultipartFormDataContent form = new MultipartFormDataContent();
    ByteArrayContent imageContent = new ByteArrayContent(fileBytes, 0, fileBytes.Length);
    imageContent.Headers.TryAddWithoutValidation("Content-Disposition", "form-data; name="+imagetag+"; filename="+filename);
    imageContent.Headers.TryAddWithoutValidation("Content-Type", "image / png");
    form.Add(imageContent, imagetag, filename);

También quería cargar cosas en un servidor y era una aplicación de Spring que finalmente descubrí que necesitaba establecer realmente un tipo de contenido para que lo interpretara como un archivo. Así:

...
MultipartFormDataContent form = new MultipartFormDataContent();
var fileStream = new FileStream(uniqueTempPathInProject, FileMode.Open);
var streamContent = new StreamContent(fileStream);
streamContent.Headers.ContentType=new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/zip");
form.Add(streamContent, "file",fileName);
...

Respuesta de arriba a @loop.

Tenemos el siguiente error para Asp.Net MVC, no se puede conectar al servidor remoto

Solución: después de agregar el siguiente código en Web, el problema de configuración se ha resuelto para nosotros
