Method Detail

upload

public String upload(InputStream in)
              throws IOException

Send the data from the stream to the server. This is less efficient than upload(File), but if you already have a stream, it's convenient. This method takes care of temporarily making a File out of the stream, making the request, and removing the temporary file. Having a File source for the upload is necessary because the content-length must be sent along with the request as per the HTTP Multipart POST protocol spec.

Throws:

IOException

upload

public String upload(File file)
              throws IOException

Send a file to the server, getting back the identifier.

Throws:

IOException

main

public static void main(String[] args)

Test this class by uploading the given file three times. First, with the provided credentials, as an InputStream. Second, with the provided credentials, as a File. Third, with bogus credentials, as a File.
