  1. POREST Upload to Skydrive without Content-Length
    text
    copied!<p>I'm trying to upload a file to Skydrive where I don't a-priori know the Content-Length. With other storage services I can do this with chunked HTTP upload, but Skydrive always complains about Content-Length being invalid.</p> <p>Here are the full headers I'm sending:</p> <pre><code>PUT /v5.0/me/skydrive/files/skydrive_test.js?overwrite=ChooseNewName HTTP/1.1 Authorization: Bearer &lt;TOKEN_REDACTED&gt; host: apis.live.net content-type: application/javascript Connection: keep-alive Transfer-Encoding: chunked </code></pre> <p>Here's the response I get back:</p> <pre><code>cache-control: private, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate transfer-encoding: chunked content-type: application/json; charset=UTF-8 server: Live-API/16.4.1731.327 Microsoft-HTTPAPI/2.0 x-content-type-options: nosniff x-http-live-request-id: API.c6afda25-2d9f-4248-9f49-001ccb3a9007 x-http-live-server: BAYMSG1010836 date: Wed, 15 May 2013 14:33:00 GMT { "error": { "code": "request_invalid_content_length", "message": "The value for the Content-Length header isn't valid." }} </code></pre> <p>Is there any way I can do this without setting Content-Length (i.e. using chunked encoding)?</p> <p>I'm using node.js to do this, but it should apply equally with any language using the REST API, hence I haven't tagged this with a particular language.</p> <p>For example Dropbox offers the Chunked Upload command: <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#chunked-upload" rel="nofollow">https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#chunked-upload</a></p> <p>And Google Drive, even though it says it wants Content-Length, doesn't need it for it's resumable upload API: <a href="https://developers.google.com/drive/manage-uploads#resumable" rel="nofollow">https://developers.google.com/drive/manage-uploads#resumable</a></p> <p>Is there an API I'm missing?</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> Things I've tried: Setting Content-Length: 0 results in it working, but the file is zero bytes. Setting Content-length:0 and Transfer-Encoding: chunked, results in the original error above.</p>
