How to upload zip data with alamofire?

Question

I try to upload data using Alamofire

Issue is: if I try to upload image from project it works ok, but if I try to upload zip dir I got error and timeout exception

There is my code which produces timeout exception

let configuration = URLSessionConfiguration.default
    configuration.timeoutIntervalForRequest = 10 // seconds
    configuration.timeoutIntervalForResource = 10
    alamoFireManager = Alamofire.SessionManager(configuration: configuration)

let fileData = FileManager.default.contents(atPath: filePath)
alamoFireManager.upload(fileData,
                        to: url,
                        method: .post,
                        headers: headers)
        .validate()
        .responseJSON {}

And here is code which works fine

let configuration = URLSessionConfiguration.default
    configuration.timeoutIntervalForRequest = 10 // seconds
    configuration.timeoutIntervalForResource = 10
    alamoFireManager = Alamofire.SessionManager(configuration: configuration)

let fileURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "MyImage", withExtension: "jpg")

alamoFireManager.upload(fileURL,
                            to: url,
                            method: .post,
                            headers: headers)
        .validate()
        .responseJSON {}

I tried to pass Data() to upload request also I tried pass reference to zip dit URL to upload request, also I tried InputStream(url: fileURL!)! but without success...

What am I doing wrong? how to send zip data to the server?

if there is some question feel free to ask!

you use the same url? did your endpoint can handle zip files? — muescha, Feb 01 '17 at 12:59
add this to see how much is uploaded: ` .uploadProgress { progress in // Called on main dispatch queue by default print("Upload progress: \(progress.fractionCompleted)") }` — muescha, Feb 01 '17 at 13:02
try this example with your zip file https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire#uploading-a-file — muescha, Feb 01 '17 at 13:08
@muescha thanks ! I have already solve... It was because of server side, but quite strange why I was getting timeout exception instead of some error... anyway now it is ok — Sirop4ik, Feb 01 '17 at 13:19

Eventually, I found the issue, server side does not accept my request. Also, there is some confusion, because if I try to download an image file from my project it works, but if the file is selected from the document directory then there is an issue.

Anyway if someone has a similar issue try to check your server side.

Try to check if your request came to server and with content inside.
