Bystes expected and received does not match sending POST from Java

Question

Why when I upload a file by post from java to a server and I use the following code.

I have edited and added the rest of the top code of the function

     public int uploadFile(String sourceFileUri) {


                  String fileName = sourceFileUri;

                  HttpURLConnection conn = null;
                  DataOutputStream dos = null;  
                  String lineEnd = "\r\n";
                  String twoHyphens = "--";
                  String boundary = "*****";
                  int bytesRead, bytesAvailable, bufferSize;
                  byte[] buffer;
                  int maxBufferSize = 1 * 1024 * 1024; 
                  File sourceFile = new File(sourceFileUri); 

                  if (!sourceFile.isFile()) {

                       runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
                           public void run() {
                            /*   messageText.setText("Source File not exist :"
                                       +uploadFilePath + "" + uploadFileName);*/
                           }
                       }); 

                       return 0;

                  }
                  else
                  {
                       try { 

              FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(sourceFile);
                           URL url = new URL(upLoadServerUri);
                           int total = (int) sourceFile.length();
                           // Open a HTTP  connection to  the URL
                           conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
                           conn.setFixedLengthStreamingMode(total);
                           conn.setDoInput(true); // Allow Inputs
                           conn.setDoOutput(true); // Allow Outputs
                           conn.setUseCaches(false); // Don't use a Cached Copy
                           conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
                           conn.setRequestProperty("Connection", "Keep-Alive");
                           conn.setRequestProperty("ENCTYPE", "multipart/form-data");
                           conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data;boundary=" + boundary);
                           conn.setRequestProperty("uploaded_file", fileName); 
                           conn.setRequestProperty("mail", MAIL); 
                           conn.setRequestProperty("OS", "1");
                           conn.setRequestProperty("LANG", "ES");

  dos = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream());

                   dos.writeBytes(twoHyphens + boundary + lineEnd); 
                   dos.writeBytes("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"uploaded_file\";filename=\""
                                             + fileName + "\"" + lineEnd);

                   dos.writeBytes(lineEnd);

                   // create a buffer of  maximum size
                   bytesAvailable = fileInputStream.available(); 

                   bufferSize = Math.min(bytesAvailable, maxBufferSize);
                   buffer = new byte[bufferSize];

                   // read file and write it into form...
                   bytesRead = fileInputStream.read(buffer, 0, bufferSize);  

                   while (bytesRead > 0) {

                     dos.write(buffer, 0, bufferSize);
                     bytesAvailable = fileInputStream.available();
                     bufferSize = Math.min(bytesAvailable, maxBufferSize);
                     bytesRead = fileInputStream.read(buffer, 0, bufferSize);   

                    }

                   // send multipart form data necesssary after file data...
                   dos.writeBytes(lineEnd);
                   dos.writeBytes(twoHyphens + boundary + twoHyphens + lineEnd);

                   // Responses from the server (code and message)
                   serverResponseCode = conn.getResponseCode();

The bytes excpected and sended does not match? I don't understand why it happens.

You don't show where you are writing the content to the stream. I suspect you need to account for the boundary byte length as well as the file length. FYI: You don't have to cast to an int. There is HttpURLConnection.setFixedLengthStreamingMode(long) method. You might also want to take a look at this other thread.

EDIT: According to the exception, you are off by 125 bytes (589840 - 589715). Check to see if 2x boundary length (this would be the number of bytes from the resulting String twoHyphens + boundary + lineEnd) plus "Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"uploaded_file\"; filename=\"" + fileName + "\"" + lineEnd bytes is 125 bytes. If it is, then that's the extra content you have to account for.

Still not seeing where you are writing to the connection. That's what counts. You can say you are going to write X bytes, but end up writing Y. Where is the code like `conn.connect(); OutputStream out = conn.getOutputStream(); ... out.write(byteArary,0,bytesArray.length];` etc. – MadConan Oct 29 '13 at 12:20
Sorry I have fixed it – David Oct 29 '13 at 12:32
I tried but I still having same issue -> E/Upload file to server Exception(4535): Exception : expected 892819 bytes but received 892944 my total is int total = (int) sourceFile.length();. Why it expects less than received, really I don't undertand nothing.. – David Oct 29 '13 at 16:13
