File Transfer HTTP Method

[allanevargas]

Is there any way to specify the HTTP method of the file transfer plugin?

I have this for my file upload:

        const options: FileUploadOptions = {
            fileKey: 'file',
            fileName: imageData.substr(imageData.lastIndexOf('/') + 1),
            headers: {},
            httpMethod: 'POST',
            chunkedMode: false,
            params: { action : 'INSERT', lineid : this.lineId }
        };

But it is being received as a GET request on my server side (PHP).

Are you sure you're using the upload api? For upload, the http method is forced to either PUT or POST.

See:

https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file-transfer/blob/dc8fbd78a234bd88450ebe01835c60371bc2cf8e/www/FileTransfer.js#L127-L131

@breautek Certain. This is my code:

this.fileTransfer.upload(imageData, encodeURI(url.replace('https', 'http') + 'pages/attachments.php'), options).then(data => {
    console.log(data);
}, error => {
    console.log(error);
});

On my app, I'm using version 1.7.2-dev, and it appears to work for me, at least for iOS and android. I have my own fork, and I am 4 commits behind Apache's master.

Note that this plugin is deprecated so there won't be any new releases or PRs merged in.

If you open up your project in Xcode (platforms/ios/) or Android Studio (platforms/android/), you should be able to set breakpoints to ensure the requests are being sent as a POST request from the native code.

Hi @breautek
