Forum OpenACS Development: Uploading file from OpenACS to different OpenACS Server

On server 2 I have file-storage installed at server2/file-storage.

I want to upload the file in "myfile.odt" from server1 to server2 using server2/file-storage/file-add

I thought that util_http_file_upload would help, but it does not (and I dont want to work on it too much now knowing if it works in the first place, as noone in the toolkit seems to use it).

Any ideas?

util_http_file_upload -file /tmp/hello.odt -name "upload_file" http://cvs.cognovis.de:8080/contacts/convert

The convert page is not protected, feel free to get your PDFs generated the.

And here is the relevant part. If I go to http://cvs.cognovis.de:8080/contacts/convert and do a manual upload everything works fine. If I use my command above, it just returns the normal HTML page with the form.

ad_page_contract {
Download file, convert it to pdf and return it

@param url URL where to get the odt file from
} {
upload_file:trim,optional
return_url:optional
upload_file.tmpfile:tmpfile,optional
url:optional
}

ad_form -name "file-add" -html { enctype multipart/form-data } -export { folder_id lock_title_p name } -form {
{upload_file:file {label \#file-storage.Upload_a_file\#} {html "size 30"}}
} -after_submit {
set upload_files [list [template::util::file::get_property filename $upload_file]]
set oo_file [list [template::util::file::get_property tmp_filename $upload_file]]
}
