ASPNET WebAPI 2 server: no upload on 404 #160

Open Myrmex opened 9 years ago

Hello, I'm trying to use this library with an ASP.NET WebAPI 2 server, but no upload ever starts when I select a file: the GET handler is called, and I return 404, but no more processing occurs. I tried returning 202 as the docs seems to suggest that 404 stops the upload process altogether, but nothing changes.

I provided a full repro solution and more information at this post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29694470/uploading-files-with-flow-js-ng-flow-to-webapi-2 . Given that it contains a code sample for ASP.NET WebAPI, it would be nice to fix it so that it could be a sample for using this library in this server environment, as googling around I could find only PHP.

Could anyone suggest how to fix? Am I really supposed to return 404 from the initial GET? Thanks!

My team was having this exact issue. After reading your post above I changed my response from "HttpStatusCode.NotFound" (404) to "HttpStatusCode.NoContent" (204). On initial testing it seems to work as intended with the added benefit of not littering the console with 404 messages.

I had the same issue when upgrading from ng-flow 2.5 to 2.6, switching the result from 404 to 204 fixed it for me.
