POHow can I create and send a text file through XmlHttpRequest or $.ajax?
text
Body
copied!<p>The server is expecting an html or txt file from a form with name: "websitetopdf". The file is created dynamically on client javascript and only have to work on Chrome.</p> <p>This is the form that should be sending it:</p> <pre><code><form action="send.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="websitetopdf" id="websitetopdf"> <input name="localfile" type="file" id="localfile" size="58"> <input name="filetype" type="hidden" id="filetype" value="IMG"> <input name="source" type="hidden" id="source" value="SOFT"> <input name="converternow" type="submit" id="converternow" style="width: 130px; font-weight: bold;" value="Convert to Image"> </form> </code></pre> <p>I want to directly send the file to send.php, I have tried this:</p> <pre><code>$("#sender").on("click", function(e) { var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); xhr.open("POST", "http://.../send.php", true); xhr.onreadystatechange = function() { if (xhr.readyState == 4) console.log(xhr.responseText); }; xhr.onload = function(e) { if (xhr.status == 200) console.log("uploaded"); //(correctly uploaded) else console.log("Error " + e.status + " occurred uploading your file.<br \/>"); }; var blob = new Blob(['abc123'], {type: 'text/plain'}); var formData = new FormData(); formData.append("localfile", blob); formData.append("filetype", "IMG"); formData.append("source", "SOFT"); xhr.send(formData); }); </code></pre> <p>I always get "<strong>it's not a valid file</strong>" from server<br></p>
