flash upload / download problem

[Planche]

I'm developing a small upload application, for personal user and I keep getting an HTTP Error 403. This is the code I'm using for this:


System.security.allowDomain("http://localhost/", "127.0.0.1");
//import the FileReference Object
import flash.net.FileReference;
//initial settings
upload_btn.enabled = false;
//the FileReference object
var file_fr:FileReference = new FileReference();
//object for listening to for FileReference events
var list_obj:Object = new Object();

list_obj.onSelect = function() {
upload_btn.enabled = true;
name_txt.text = file_fr.name;
};
/*
list_obj.onProgress = function(bytesTotal, bytesLoaded) {
var percent = bytesLoaded/file_fr.size;
};
*/
//if a user selects cancel
list_obj.onCancel = function() {
debug_txt.text = "Cancel was selected";
};
//if there is an IO error
list_obj.onIOError = function(fileRef) {
debug_txt.text += "IO error with "+fileRef.name;
};
//security error problem
list_obj.onSecurityError = function(fileRef, error) {
debug_txt.text += "Security error with "+fileRef.name+":"+error;
};
//httpError
list_obj.onHTTPError = function(fileRef:FileReference, error:Number) {
debug_txt.text += "HTTP error: with "+fileRef.name+":error #"+error;
};
// complete
list_obj.onComplete = function(fileRef:FileReference) {
downloadImage(fileRef.name);
debug_txt.text += "All Done";
upload_btn.enabled = false;

};
//attach the listener
file_fr.addListener(list_obj);
//the event for the browse button
browse_btn.onRelease = function() {
file_fr.browse([{description:"JPEGs", extension:"*.JPG;*.jpg"}]);
};
//the event for the upload button
upload_btn.onRelease = function() {
file_fr.upload("http://www.capaetal.pt/jplanche/upload/upload.php");
};
imagePane.addEventListener("complete", imageDownloaded);
// show image
function imageDownloaded(event:Object):Void {
debug_txt.text += "imageDownload function called";
if (event.total == -1) {
imagePane.contentPath = "error";
}
}
// show uploaded image in scrollPane
function downloadImage(file:Object):Void {
debug_txt.text += "downloadImage";
imagePane.contentPath = "http://localhost/jplanche/upload/files/"+file;
}

Anyone with an idea why is this happening?

thanks

First take a look at this...

http://www.checkupdown.com/status/E403.html

[cmbarsotti]

I remember that happening to me but I'm not remembering why, I'll look into my notes but my first question is have you tried to upload it to a web server or are you just running this locally (through IIS?)?

(I think amandeepsiin and I posted at the same time and I like that answer better then mine.)

[Planche]

amandeepsiin - I've seen and I can´t imagine why this is still reporting that error.

cmbarsotti - I'm running this on a web server: www.capaetal.pt/jplanche/upload/

thanks.

[cmbarsotti]

oh, sorry. I saw the localhost and assumed you were running on IIS. I got sidetracked on something but I do remember getting 403s when I first tried this. I'll see what I can find.

thanks.

See this error happen due to the reason that you dont have access right of that folder. First check the access right for the folder.

[Planche]

I gave the right to the folder: chmod 777
And still is not working...

This is the code I have just now and still getting the same 403 error:


System.security.allowDomain("http://www.capaetal.pt/jplanche/upload/");
//import the FileReference Object
import flash.net.FileReference;
//initial settings
upload_btn.enabled = false;
//the FileReference object
var file_fr:FileReference = new FileReference();
//object for listening to for FileReference events
var list_obj:Object = new Object();

list_obj.onSelect = function(file_fr:FileReference) {
debug_txt.text += "onSelect";
upload_btn.enabled = true;
name_txt.text = file_fr.name;
};
list_obj.onOpen = function(file_fr:FileReference) {
imagePane.contentPath = "http://www.capaetal.pt/jplanche/upload/files/" + file_fr.name;
}
//if a user selects cancel
list_obj.onCancel = function(file_fr:FileReference) {
debug_txt.text += "onCancel";
debug_txt.text = "Cancel was selected";
};
//if there is an IO error
list_obj.onIOError = function(file_fr:FileReference) {
debug_txt.text += "onIOError";
debug_txt.text = "IO error with "+fileRef.name;
};
//security error problem
list_obj.onSecurityError = function(file_fr:FileReference, error) {
debug_txt.text += "onSecurityError";
debug_txt.text = "Security error with "+fileRef.name+":"+error;
};
//httpError
list_obj.onHTTPError = function(fileRef:FileReference, error:Number) {
debug_txt.text += "onHTTPError";
debug_txt.text += "HTTP error: with "+fileRef.name+":error #" + error;
};

imagePane.addListener("complete", imageDownloaded);
//attach the listener
file_fr.addListener(list_obj);
//the event for the browse button
browse_btn.onRelease = function() {
file_fr.browse([{description:"JPEGs", extension:"*.JPG;*.jpg"}]);
};
//the event for the upload button
upload_btn.onRelease = function() {
myUpload();
};
//
myUpload = function () {
debug_txt.text = "Uploading: " + file_fr.name + "\n";
file_fr.upload("upload.php");
};


I've done a chmod 777 on the folder "files"

I also have been doing some local testing, in Apache, and the files do upload to the directory, and then they also download to a specific movie clip. Now comes the strange thing.. I have like 11 jpg's files, and just the ones that start with an "a" (without quotes) do download to the movie clip, the others just don't:


//import the FileReference Object
import flash.net.FileReference;
//initial settings
upload_btn.enabled = false;
//the FileReference object
var file_fr:FileReference = new FileReference();
//object for listening to for FileReference events
var list_obj:Object = new Object();

list_obj.onSelect = function(file_fr:FileReference) {
debug_txt.text += "onSelect";
upload_btn.enabled = true;
name_txt.text = file_fr.name;
};
list_obj.onOpen = function(file_fr:FileReference) {
//imagePane.contentPath = "http://localhost:8888/upload/files/" + file_fr.name;
imageloader.loadMovie("http://localhost:8888/upload/files/" + file_fr.name);
}
//if a user selects cancel
list_obj.onCancel = function(file_fr:FileReference) {
debug_txt.text += "onCancel";
debug_txt.text = "Cancel was selected";
};
//if there is an IO error
list_obj.onIOError = function(file_fr:FileReference) {
debug_txt.text += "onIOError";
debug_txt.text = "IO error with "+fileRef.name;
};
//security error problem
list_obj.onSecurityError = function(file_fr:FileReference, error) {
debug_txt.text += "onSecurityError";
debug_txt.text = "Security error with "+fileRef.name+":"+error;
};
//httpError
list_obj.onHTTPError = function(fileRef:FileReference, error:Number) {
debug_txt.text += "onHTTPError";
debug_txt.text += "HTTP error: with "+fileRef.name+":error #" + error;
};

imagePane.addListener("complete", imageDownloaded);
//attach the listener
file_fr.addListener(list_obj);
//the event for the browse button
browse_btn.onRelease = function() {
file_fr.browse([{description:"JPEGs", extension:"*.JPG;*.jpg"}]);
};
//the event for the upload button
upload_btn.onRelease = function() {
myUpload();
};
//
myUpload = function () {
debug_txt.text = "Uploading: " + file_fr.name + "\n";
file_fr.upload("upload.php");
imageloader.loadMovie("http://localhost:8888/upload/files/" + file_fr.name);
};

The test I did last month just automatically opens a dialog box, no interface:

http://cdotspace.com/test/untitled-2.html

The actionscript I used was just lifted from the help files.

Are you able to upload using just the server-sdie script? (Taking Flash out of the equation?)

Actionscript:

import flash.net.FileReferenceList;
import flash.net.FileReference;
var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.onSelect = function(fileRefList:FileReferenceList) {
traceThis("onSelect");
var list:Array = fileRefList.fileList;
var item:FileReference;
for (var i:Number = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
item = list[i];
traceThis("name: " + item.name);
traceThis(item.addListener(this));
if (!item.upload("upload.asp")) {
traceThis( "Upload dialog failed to open.");
}
}
};
listener.onCancel = function():Void {
traceThis("onCancel");
};
listener.onOpen = function(file:FileReference):Void {
traceThis("onOpen: " + file.name);
};
listener.onProgress = function(file:FileReference, bytesLoaded:Number, bytesTotal:Number):Void {
traceThis("onProgress with bytesLoaded: " + bytesLoaded + " bytesTotal: " + bytesTotal);
};
listener.onComplete = function(file:FileReference):Void {
traceThis("onComplete: " + file.name);
};
listener.onHTTPError = function(file:FileReference, httpError:Number):Void {
traceThis("onHTTPError: " + file.name + " httpError: " + httpError);
};
listener.onIOError = function(file:FileReference):Void {
traceThis("onIOError: " + file.name);
};
listener.onSecurityError = function(file:FileReference, errorString:String):Void {
traceThis("onSecurityError: " + file.name + " errorString: " + errorString);
};
var fileRef:FileReferenceList = new FileReferenceList();
fileRef.addListener(listener);
fileRef.browse();
function traceThis(str) {
txt.text += str + "\n";
}


ASP:

<%
Set Upload = Server.CreateObject("Persits.Upload")

'Uncomment the next line if you need to set user access to domain with username and password
'Upload.LogonUser "mydomain", "Administrator", "xxxxxxxxx"

'Set code page
Upload.CodePage = 65001

'Set to not overwrite files (True/False)
Upload.OverwriteFiles = False

' Limit file size (bytes)
Upload.SetMaxSize 5000000, True

' Intercept all exceptions to display user-friendly error
On Error Resume Next

'Set the path to the folder on server to write the files to
strPath = "E:\WWW\cdotspace.com\wwwroot\test\"

'Create directory if it does not exist
Upload.CreateDirectory strPath, True

' Perform upload
Upload.Save strPath

strFilePath = Upload.Files("selectedFile").Path

' 8 is the number of "File too large" exception
If Err.Number = 8 Then
'File is too large do nothing
Else
If Err = 0 Then
Select Case Ucase(right(strFilePath,4))
Case ".JPG", ".GIF",".PNG"
'Acceptable file to be uploaded
Case Else
'Delete file
Upload.Files("file1").Delete
End Select
End If
End If

Isn't this just the same thing... You have to use a server side script to upload the files, that's what I'm doing.

[cmbarsotti]

yes, it is. I'm sorry, I just posted it as confirmation that what you had should work.

Sorry, I just woke up and had three very long phone calls before I had coffee.
