POHow can I send a file in a POST request?

Body
copied!<p>I'm building a clojure API to my website that is basically a wrapper around the original web API. One of the features that I'm not being able to implement is file sending via POST requests, basically what I would do in shell with <code>curl -F foo=bar baz=@bak.jpg foobar.com</code>.</p> <p>I'm using <a href="http://github.com/technomancy/clojure-http-client/tree/master/src/clojure/http/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">clojure-http-client</a>, and initially tried the form <code>(resourcefully/post "foobar.com" {} {:foo "bar" :baz (File. "bak.jpg")})</code>, but the :baz field was ignored by the receiving script, as if I had send only :foo. Later, I've tried changing <code>File.</code> to <code>FileInputStream</code>, as [the line 51][2] of client.clj seems to be checking for this particular class, but still got the same results.</p> <p>Then I created a php page that simply prints $_POST to check out my request, and apparently the objects' data is being sent literally. Take a look:</p> <blockquote> <p>Clojure=> (resourcefully/post "<a href="http://ptchan.org/pttest.php" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://ptchan.org/pttest.php</a>" {} {:foo "bar" :baz "/tmp/bak.jpg"}) {:body-seq ("Array" "(" " [foo] => bar" " [baz] => /tmp/bak.jpg" ")"), :code 200, :msg "OK", :method "POST", :headers {:date ("Fri, 02 Oct 2009 11:41:15 GMT"), :vary ("Accept-Encoding"), :content-length ("53"), :connection ("close"), :content-type ("text/html"), :server ("Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny3 with Suhosin-Patch"), :x-powered-by ("PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny3")}, :get-header #, :cookies nil, :url "<a href="http://ptchan.org/pttest.php" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://ptchan.org/pttest.php</a>"}</p> <p>Clojure=> (resourcefully/post "<a href="http://ptchan.org/pttest.php" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://ptchan.org/pttest.php</a>" {} {:foo "bar" :baz (File. "/tmp/bak.jpg")}) {:body-seq ("Array" "(" " [foo] => bar" " [baz] => /tmp/bak.jpg" ")"), :code 200, :msg "OK", :method "POST", :headers {:date ("Fri, 02 Oct 2009 11:41:30 GMT"), :vary ("Accept-Encoding"), :content-length ("53"), :connection ("close"), :content-type ("text/html"), :server ("Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny3 with Suhosin-Patch"), :x-powered-by ("PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny3")}, :get-header #, :cookies nil, :url "<a href="http://ptchan.org/pttest.php" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://ptchan.org/pttest.php</a>"}</p> <p>Clojure=> (resourcefully/post "<a href="http://ptchan.org/pttest.php" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://ptchan.org/pttest.php</a>" {} {:foo "bar" :baz (FileInputStream. "/tmp/bak.jpg")}) {:body-seq ("Array" "(" " [foo] => bar" " [baz] => java.io.FileInputStream@320f6398" ")"), :code 200, :msg "OK", :method "POST", :headers {:date ("Fri, 02 Oct 2009 11:41:47 GMT"), :vary ("Accept-Encoding"), :content-length ("73"), :connection ("close"), :content-type ("text/html"), :server ("Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny3 with Suhosin-Patch"), :x-powered-by ("PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny3")}, :get-header #, :cookies nil, :url "<a href="http://ptchan.org/pttest.php" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://ptchan.org/pttest.php</a>"}</p> </blockquote> <p>I'm not really sure how to proceed. Any suggestion? General tips on debugging are also welcome!</p> <p>Thanks</p>
