upload file in contentlibrary via API : externalpath?

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I'm trying to upload a file to the default content library using the qrs api, in node.js

When I execute this code, I recieve a 201 code from the server, meaning the file has been created.

The file testDoc4.txt is created in the library.

I can access it via the URL

https://myHostName/content/Default/testDoc4.txt

But, this file is empty! I suppose I'm not giving the right externalpath.

My original testDoc4.txt file is on the server, on this path : C:\Qlik\server\shared\StaticContent

Could you please help me to find the well-formated externalpath?

Many thanks

var https = require('https');

var fs = require('fs');

var options = {

   hostname: 'myHostName',

   port: 4242,

   path: '/qrs/contentlibrary/Default/uploadfile?externalpath=testDoc4.txt&overwrite=true&xrfkey=abcdefghijklmnop',

   method: 'POST',

   headers: {

      'x-qlik-xrfkey' : 'abcdefghijklmnop',

      'X-Qlik-User' : 'UserDirectory= Internal; UserId= sa_repository ',

      'Content-Type' : 'text/html; charset=utf-8'

   },

   key: fs.readFileSync("C:\\javaTicket\\pem\\client_key.pem"),

   cert: fs.readFileSync("C:\\javaTicket\\pem\\client.pem"),

   ca: fs.readFileSync("C:\\javaTicket\\pem\\root.pem")

};

https.get(options, function(res) {

   console.log("Got response: " + res.statusCode);

   res.on("data", function(chunk) {

      console.log("BODY: " + chunk); 

   });

   }).on('error', function(e) {

      console.log("Got error: " + e.message);

});

Hey Florian,

I can't claim to be any good at NodeJS, but this is running clean:

var fs = require('fs');
var request = require('request');

fs.readFile('C:\\Scripts\\NodeJS\\foo.xml', function (err, data) {
    if (err) return console.error(err);
    options = {
        url: 'https://hostname:4242/qrs/contentlibrary/Default/uploadfile?externalpath=foo.xml&overwrite=true&xrfk...',
        method: 'POST',
        headers: {
           'x-qlik-xrfkey' : 'abcdefghijklmnop',
           'X-Qlik-User' : 'UserDirectory= Internal; UserId= sa_repository ',
           'Content-Type' : 'application/xml'
        },
        key: fs.readFileSync('C:\\ProgramData\\Qlik\\Sense\\Repository\\Exported Certificates\\.Local Certificates\\client_key.pem'),
        cert: fs.readFileSync("C:\\ProgramData\\Qlik\\Sense\\Repository\\Exported Certificates\\.Local Certificates\\client.pem"),
        ca: fs.readFileSync("C:\\ProgramData\\Qlik\\Sense\\Repository\\Exported Certificates\\.Local Certificates\\root.pem"),
        body: data
    }

    request.post(options, function (err, message, data) {
      if (err) return console.error(err);
      console.log(data)
    });
  });

The crux of the issue is that you're not including any actual reading / storing of the file that you want to send.

Hope that helps.
