Headers sending a picture in a form about guzzle

[mtdowling]

Can you provide some example code?

[yosmanyga]

require_once 'guzzle.phar';

$client = new \Guzzle\Http\Client();
$request = $client->post('post.php')
    ->addPostFiles(array(
        'picture' => 'path/to/image.jpg'
    ));
$response = $request->send();

A comment related to the full path: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php#101231

And a comment about content-type: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php#97591

Interesting. You'll need to set the Content-Type yourself, but I'm not sure what's going on with the Content-Disposition header. I wonder if that's an issue with curl or an implementation detail in Guzzle. I'll need to find some time to investigate further.

[yosmanyga]

Well, using a normal browser, users don´t need to set the Content-Type for their upload files. So Guzzle should detect Content-Type too.

There's some Content-Type guessing functionality that I suppose I could refactor so that it attempts to guess the content-type for POST uploads: https://github.com/guzzle/guzzle/blob/master/src/Guzzle/Http/EntityBody.php#L110

I'm not sure why you're getting a reference to a temp file. I'll look into that sometime this week. However, I don't think it would be an issue to send the full path to a file. The chdir method in the comment you referenced would not work if you were submitting multiple files in different directories.

[yosmanyga]

Cool, it would be nice to have the auto-detecting.

According to http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec19.html (19.5.1 Content-Disposition):

The receiving user agent SHOULD NOT respect any directory path information present in the filename-parm parameter, which is the only parameter believed to apply to HTTP implementations at this time. The filename SHOULD be treated as a terminal component only.

An example is
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="fname.ext"

More here: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1806.txt (2.3 The Filename Parameter)

I'm running into the same issue as @yosmanyga did originally. The filename is getting sent with it's full path to the server, and this is not correct. It should only display the file selected to be uploaded. Anyways, I'm sure I have the newest cost since I get this via composer. What gives?

[mtdowling]

Found a way to workaround this with cURL. The master branch has a fix for this now and will strip out the leading slash on the filename portion of the Content-Disposition header.
