Transfer files from one server to another using httprequest
I need to be able to transfer files between 2 web servers on totally different domains. I was told that I can post a file from one server to an ashx handler on the other server using the publicly accessible URLs (and some basic authentication). So far, all my code does is spin its wheels when
StreamWriter myWriter = null;
HttpWebRequest objRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest .Create("http://server2" );
objRequest.Method = "POST";
FileStream fs = new FileStream(
"\defaultsmall.jpg",FileMo de.Open,Fi leAccess.R ead);
byte[] data = new byte[fs.Length];
fs.Read(data,0,Convert.ToI nt32(fs.Le ngth));
fs.Close();
objRequest.ContentLength = data.Length;
objRequest.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-ur lencoded";
myWriter = new StreamWriter(objRequest.Ge tRequestSt ream());
myWriter.Write(data);
myWriter.Close();
string result = "";
HttpWebResponse objResponse = (HttpWebResponse)objReques t.GetRespo nse();
using (StreamReader sr =
new StreamReader(objResponse.G etResponse Stream()))
{
result = sr.ReadToEnd();
sr.Close();
}
My handler code is just :
public class TransportF : IHttpHandler {
public void ProcessRequest (HttpContext context) {
context.Response.Write("do ne");
}
public bool IsReusable {
get {
return false;
}
}
}
I understand that my handler code is lacking, but right now im focusing on the page that is actually trying to post the file. Currently, it is giving me:
The request was aborted: The request was canceled. at System.Net.ConnectStream.C loseIntern al(Boolean internalCall, Boolean aborting) at System.Net.ConnectStream.S ystem.Net. ICloseEx.C loseEx(Clo seExState closeState) at System.Net.ConnectStream.D ispose(Boo lean disposing) at System.IO.Stream.Close() at System.IO.StreamWriter.Dis pose(Boole an disposing) at System.IO.StreamWriter.Clo se()
when I try to close myWriter. I know ive got a ways to go to get this to work, or maybe Im not even on the right track, but I cant seem to find any code examples that are helping. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
