Hello I want to send a file over http to nifi. When i do so, the filename attributes is set to a long sequence of numbers as shown below in the picture. How should my http url be? listenhttpflowfile.jpg this is the code im working with Code Sample as below: public string PutNifi(string filePath)
{
// Create a http request to the server endpoint that will pick up the
// file and file description.
string Message = "Failed";
try
{
HttpWebRequest requestToServerEndpoint = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://db-hdf:8081/contentListener");
string boundaryString = "----SomeRandomText";
string fileUrl = filePath;
// Set the http request header \\
requestToServerEndpoint.Method = WebRequestMethods.Http.Post;
requestToServerEndpoint.ContentType = "multipart/form-data; boundary=" + boundaryString;
requestToServerEndpoint.KeepAlive = true;
requestToServerEndpoint.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
// Use a MemoryStream to form the post data request,
// so that we can get the content-length attribute.
MemoryStream postDataStream = new MemoryStream();
StreamWriter postDataWriter = new StreamWriter(postDataStream);
// Include the file in the post data
postDataWriter.Write("\r\n--" + boundaryString + "\r\n");
postDataWriter.Write("Content-Disposition: form-data;"
+ "name=\"{0}\";"
+ "filename=\"{1}\""
+ "\r\nContent-Type: {2}\r\n\r\n",
"myFile",
Path.GetFileName(fileUrl),
Path.GetExtension(fileUrl));
postDataWriter.Flush();
// Read the file
FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(fileUrl, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int bytesRead = 0;
while ((bytesRead = fileStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) != 0)
{
postDataStream.Write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
}
fileStream.Close();
postDataWriter.Write("\r\n--" + boundaryString + "--\r\n");
postDataWriter.Flush();
// Set the http request body content length
requestToServerEndpoint.ContentLength = postDataStream.Length;
// Dump the post data from the memory stream to the request stream
using (Stream s = requestToServerEndpoint.GetRequestStream())
{
postDataStream.WriteTo(s);
}
postDataStream.Close();
Message = "Success";
}
catch (Exception ee)
{
Message = ee.ToString();
}
return Message;
}
