  1. POWebClient UploadFile corrupts binary data
    text
    copied!<p>I am trying to synchronize binary files (photos) from my <code>Monotouch</code> application, running on an <code>iPad</code>, to our <code>PHP</code> server (Windows) using <code>Webclient</code>. The files are being sent and received, but the binary files seem to be corrupt on the server and cannot be viewed.</p> <p>Here is the client side code:</p> <pre><code>static void UploadPhotos() { WebClient client = new WebClient (); client.Headers.Add("Content-Type","application/octet-stream"); string sUri = GetUri(); client.UploadFile (sUri, "POST", "images/test.png"); } </code></pre> <p>And here is the <code>PHP</code> code on the server:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $uploadDir = "C:\\uploaddir\\"; foreach ($_FILES as $file_name =&gt; $file_array) { $uploadFile = $uploadDir . $file_array['name']; move_uploaded_file($file_array['tmp_name'], $uploadFile); } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>Does anyone know why the binary data gets corrupted in the upload and how to fix it?</p> <p><strong>Update:</strong></p> <p>Very strange indeed. It seems the problem I am having affects <code>png</code> images only; <code>jpeg</code> images seem to come across correctly. The <code>jpeg</code> images show the image dimensions correctly in windows explorer on the server and I am able to preview the <code>jpeg</code> images. The <code>jpeg</code> images that I tested were about 90 KB. The <code>png</code> files though are not coming across correctly. In windows explorer the <code>png</code> files don't show the dimensions of the images and cannot be previewed. The <code>png</code> file sizes are larger on the server. So, for example, I use the following <code>png</code> image:</p> <p><a href="http://tuxpaint.org/stamps/stamps/animals/birds/cartoon/tux.png" rel="nofollow">http://tuxpaint.org/stamps/stamps/animals/birds/cartoon/tux.png</a></p> <p>The initial file is 40.2 KB (41236 bytes); after transfer the file size on the server is 45.3 KB (46468 bytes). Anyone got any ideas how this could happen?</p>
