This forum is a community forum meant for users of the plugin to collaborate and help solve issues with implementation, etc. Unfortunately, as the creator of the plugin, I do not have much time to attend to every request here as this is only a side project and I must work a full-time job to provide for my family. This is how I keep the Flash version free and the HTML5 version low cost.
UploadiFive 1.1.1 has been released which includes a small fix for added support on touch devices including iOS 6 devices.
Apache Commons wants a multipart boundary?
  • futurechimpfuturechimp
    Hi,

    I'm attempting to implement Uploadifive in a Scalatra site, and using the Apache Commons FileUpload component to accept the upload.

    It seems that no matter what I do, Commons refuses to allow the file upload, saying this:

    HTTP/1.1 500 the request was rejected because no multipart boundary was found

    Do you have any suggestions as to how I can get this to work?

    I'm in the same boat. java.io.IOException: Separation boundary was not specified and produces a 500 error.

    Just to note: renhack is saying that changing the content-type to "application/octet-stream" instead of "multipart/form-data" on line 405 of uploadifive.js works:

    http://www.uploadify.com/forum/#/discussion/8219/no-boundary-separator-in-content-type

    However, for me this doesn't do the trick, as I get back:

    the request doesn't contain a multipart/form-data or multipart/mixed stream, content type header is application/octet-stream
    org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadBase$InvalidContentTypeException: the request doesn't contain a multipart/form-data or multipart/mixed stream, content type header is application/octet-stream


    So I'm still somewhat stuck.

    i read the http request body in as binary and wrote to file using the name in the headers. Again, its still a boundary issue and should be handled as such. My way was just a workaround until uploadify is corrected.

    Boundary explanation here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME#Multipart_messages

    If I get a chance tomorrow I'll modify the uploadify js to include it.

    Direct message me with your paypal emails and I'll send you a new version that uses an updated method for uploading that should be compatible with what you're using it for.

    Awesome... thanks. What you posted above wouldn't work anyway unless you append the file using FormData(). It should wire up the boundary automatically. I think the original plugin is fine, it just didn't need the multipart/form-data bit and some documentation it was an xhr2 post so people weren't expecting to handle it as standard formData. I guess whatever you tested with didn't check content-type. I'm curious to see your changes, but honestly, I'm pretty happy just reading the body in as binary and I love the new version.
