I have a client-server type application with the server running HttpListener and the client uploading data to the server using WebClient.UploadData. The code works quite well (whith large data buffers 60K and up) except one installation where UploadData times out when data buffer size is bigger that 16384. Here is my code on the client:
internal bool UploadData(byte[] buffer, String file, String folder)
{
try
{
String uri = "http://" + GlobalData.ServerIP + ":" + GlobalData.ServerHttpPort + "/upload:";
NameValueCollection headers = new NameValueCollection();
headers.Set("Content-Type", "application/octet-stream");
headers.Set("Y-Folder", folder);
headers.Set("Y-File", file);
using (WebClient wc = new WebClient())
{
wc.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(WebUserName, WebPassword);
wc.Headers.Add(headers);
wc.UploadData(new Uri(uri), buffer);
return true;
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
GlobalData.ODS("Exception in UploadFile " + ex.Message);
return false;
}
}
On the server
ODS(TraceDetailLevel.Level4, "Process upload ");
HttpListenerResponse response = e.RequestContext.Response;
String disp = "";
String fil = "";
String folder = "";
Stream body = e.RequestContext.Request.InputStream;
long len64 = e.RequestContext.Request.ContentLength64;
Encoding encoding = e.RequestContext.Request.ContentEncoding;
ODS(TraceDetailLevel.Level4, "Process upload " + len64 + " bytes encoding " + encoding.EncodingName);
NameValueCollection nvp = e.RequestContext.Request.Headers;
try
{
disp = nvp["Content-Disposition"];
fil = nvp["Y-File"];
folder = nvp["Y-Folder"];
}
catch { }
BinaryReader reader = new BinaryReader(body, encoding);
byte[] data = new byte[len64];
long total = 0;
while (true)
{
int dataleft = data.Length - (int)total;
int offset = (int)total;
GlobalData.ODS("Reading binary stream offset=" + offset + " read dataleft=" + dataleft);
int cnt = reader.Read(data, offset, dataleft);
if (cnt <= 0)
{
break;
}
total += cnt;
if (len64 <= total)
{
break;
}
}
ODS(TraceDetailLevel.Level4, "Process upload: Got data "+total+" should have="+len64);
if (total == len64)
{
//process data
The code above works well on all but one installation. What is wrong?
