Hi,

I'm making an app for reading and posting on an old webforum.

Now i have come to the "posting a reply" part, and i´m really stuck.

I have read Erels example on multipart/formdata request, but i don´t understand how to do that.


Can someone please help me understand how to send the multipart formdata??

Here is the multipart/formdata from the website:

B4X: 
<form action="validate.asp" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="newmessage" onSubmit="return validate()" >

    <input type="hidden" name="messagetype" value="y">

   <input type="hidden" name="replyid" value="117114">

You can use this code to create a multipart request with HttpUtils2 (make sure to check Http library as well):
B4X: 
Sub SendMultipartJob (JobName As String, Url As String, NameValues As Map)
   Dim boundary As String
   boundary = "---------------------------1461124740692"
   Dim stream As OutputStream
   stream.InitializeToBytesArray(20)
   Dim EOL As String
   EOL = Chr(13) & Chr(10) 'CRLF constant matches Android end of line character which is chr(10).
   Dim b() As Byte
   If NameValues <> Null AND NameValues.IsInitialized Then
      'Write the name/value pairs
      Dim key, value As String
      For i = 0 To NameValues.Size - 1
         key = NameValues.GetKeyAt(i)
         value = NameValues.GetValueAt(i)
         b = ("--" & boundary & EOL & "Content-Disposition: form-data; name=" _ 
            & QUOTE & key & QUOTE & EOL & EOL & value & EOL).GetBytes("UTF8")
         stream.WriteBytes(b, 0, b.Length)
      Next
   End If
   b = (EOL & "--" & boundary & "--" & EOL).GetBytes("UTF8")
   stream.WriteBytes(b, 0, b.Length)
   b = stream.ToBytesArray
   Dim job As HttpJob
   job.Initialize(JobName, Me)
   job.PostBytes(Url, b)
   job.GetRequest.SetContentType("multipart/form-data; boundary=" & boundary)
   job.GetRequest.SetContentEncoding("UTF8")
End Sub

You should create a map with the field names and the values and then send it to validate.asp.

Thanks for fast reply. :)

Tried this code but get "error: object not found"

B4X: 
Dim values As Map
   
   values.Initialize 
   
   values.Put("messagetype","y")
   values.Put("messageid","18969")
   values.Put("replyid","117114")
   values.Put("messagesubject","Styrservopump Chevrolet")
   values.Put("messagetext","...")
   values.Put("thefile","")
   values.Put("fname","20130709_140829")
   values.Put("link","")
   values.Put("film","")
   values.Put("ip","11.111.111.111")
   values.Put("ReplyParent","117114")
   values.Put("intUsrID","2033")
   values.Put("txtUsrName","btbb76")
   values.Put("submit","  Skicka inlägg ")
   
   Dim adress As String
   adress = "http://www.example.nu/validate.asp"
      
   SendMultipartJob ("job5",adress,values)


Is this the correct way? Don´t know which object that is wrong.

I have the header request from the site, but really not know how to give that header.

Here is the header: (Personal info edited)
