KIO::http_post file upload

HI there all, I'm hoping someone can give me some pointers on how to transfer a file via the KIO::http_post method. I have the following code:

Source code

 
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

static char bindata[] = "uname='fred'&password='secret'";
QByteArray postByteData;
postByteData.setRawData(bindata, sizeof(bindata) );
				
KURL dest_URL = KURL("http://www.target.com/upload.php");
            
KIO::TransferJob* job = KIO::http_post( dest_URL, postByteData, false ); // return * KIO::Transfer
job->addMetaData("content-type:", "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" );


and what I want to do is also include an image file. Presumably I need to set an appropraite mime type, I'm just not sure which one and then how to encode and include the file. I havent had much luck finding documentation on how browsers normally encode this when files are POSTed using the

Source code

 
1

<input type='file'>
tag and I'm not sure how I would achive this using http_post.

Has anyone done something similar and could give me a few pointers?

Hmm, sorry, no idea.

You could try asking on kde-devel or kfm-devel mailinglists

thanks for the reply, I think that the mailing lists will be my next step, or i'll just bight the bullet and spend some time experimenting.

From the source code for http_post it just looks like it streams what ever is in the byte array passed to it out over the network so i guess the issue here is more of an HTTP one than a strictly KDE one. I was just hoping someone else had already done the leg work on this and could clue me in...
