Uploading image to album from within an End Point

tripp-bishop - Yes, you can add any custom code in your endpoint before the processing of image upload. You may create an Endpoint.

//Code to process XYZ things

//Code to upload the image

//Code to process XYZ things

VarunGrazitti Thanks! I'm running into an interesting issue:

Here's the content of my test endpoint:

<#assign status = "error" />
<#assign message = "no errors" />
<#assign upload_payload = http.request.parameters.name.get("image.content", "") />
<#compress>
    <#attempt>
        <#assign response = rest("/users/id/${user.id}/media/albums/default/public/images/upload?image.content=${upload_payload}") />
        <#assign status = "success" />
    <#recover>
        <#assign message = .error />
    </#attempt>
</#compress>

and this is the test form that is submitting to the EP:

<form method="post" action="/my-path/upload-test" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <input type="file" name="image.content"><br />
    <input type="submit" value="Upload" /><br />
</form>

So super simple. What I'm seeing is that the line:

<#assign upload_payload = http.request.parameters.name.get("image.content", "") />

is setting the variable "upload_payload" to an empty string, probably because we failed to find a request param called "image.content". Is there another way I should be getting at the image.content variable that's being uploaded by the form?

Thanks for your help!

Cheers,

Tripp

So I've done a little more testing on this and noticed something:

I added a new field to the form:

<input type="text" name="image.title" value="The light is green" />

and I commented out the "file" input field.

Submitting the new form to the endpoint I found that the new field is also not found. So I removed the form's enctype attribute and resubmitted the form and the image.title parameter is now found and shows the correct data. So it appears that the multipart/form-data enctype is confusing the endpoint (or at least http.request.parameters). Any thoughts on this?

Cheers,

Tripp

Unfortunately we don't have the support right now in our customization layer to read files from multipart/form-data requests.  I'd like to encourage you to submit a product idea for this -- I'll vote for it, because this there should be support for this.

Any update on this feature? I am trying to do the same thing: post a form to an endpoint with a file to be uploaded.
