Canvas to JPEG, then file upload to ESP32 SPIFFS fails to decode, error 19

[frankcohen]

Thank you for Picojpeg. I found it embeded in Bodmer's JPEGDecoder https://github.com/Bodmer/JPEGDecoder/blob/master/src/picojpeg.h and used to display images on a 135x240 pixel OLED display.

I created a 10x10 pixel JPEG encoded image from a Javascript context using this code:

var mywide = video.videoWidth;
mywide = mywide / 6;
canvas.width = 135;
canvas.height = 240;

var image = canvas.getContext('2d').drawImage(video,0,0,10,10,0,0,10,10);
var base64png = canvas.toDataURL("image/jpeg", 1.0);
var dataURL = base64png.replace(/\s/g, '+').replace(/^data:image\/jpeg;base64,/, '');
var nobase = window.atob(dataURL);

var oAjaxReq = new XMLHttpRequest();
oAjaxReq.submittedData = nobase;

oAjaxReq.onreadystatechange = function() {
   console.log("Uploading image");
   console.log(oAjaxReq.responseText);
}

oAjaxReq.onload = function (oEvent)
{
   console.log("Uploaded");
}

oAjaxReq.open("post", "upload", true);

var bound = Date.now().toString(16);
var sBoundary = "----WebKitFormBoundary" + bound;

oAjaxReq.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data; boundary=" + sBoundary );

var mydata = "--" + sBoundary + "\r\n";

mydata += "Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"name\"; filename=\"" + "slice1.jpg" + "\"\r\n";
mydata += "Content-Type: image/png";
mydata += "\r\n";
mydata += "\r\n";

mydata += nobase;

mydata += "\r\n";

mydata += "--" + sBoundary + "--";
mydata += "\r\n";

oAjaxReq.send( mydata );

I am using FHessel's HTTPS Server on ESP32 to receive the form post from a Chrome browser.

https://github.com/fhessel/esp32_https_server

Here is my form post handler code for the server side:

void handle_upload(HTTPRequest * req, HTTPResponse * res)
{ 
  Serial.println("Handle_upload");

  HTTPBodyParser *parser;
  parser = new HTTPMultipartBodyParser(req);
  bool didwrite = false;

  Serial.println( "Handle_upload 2" );

  while(parser->nextField()) {

    Serial.println( "Handle_upload 3" );
    std::string name = parser->getFieldName();
    std::string filename = parser->getFieldFilename();
    std::string mimeType = parser->getFieldMimeType();
    Serial.printf("handleFormUpload: field name='%s', filename='%s', mimetype='%s'\n", name.c_str(), filename.c_str(), mimeType.c_str() );

    if ( ! (filename.rfind("/", 0) == 0) )
    {
      filename = "/" + filename;
    }

    Serial.print("handle_upload Name: "); 
    Serial.println(filename.c_str()  );

    fsUploadFile = LITTLEFS.open( filename.c_str(), "w");            // Open the file for writing in SPIFFS (create if it doesn't exist)

    size_t fileLength = 0;
    didwrite = true;

    while (!parser->endOfField()) {
      byte buf[512];
      size_t readLength = parser->read(buf, 512);
      fsUploadFile.write(buf, readLength);
      fileLength += readLength;
    }

    fsUploadFile.close();
    res->printf("<p>Saved %d bytes to %s</p>", (int)fileLength, filename.c_str() );
  }

  if (!didwrite) {
    res->println("<p>Did not write any file contents</p>");
  }

  delete parser;
  if(didwrite) 
   {                                    // If the file was successfully created
     res->setHeader("Location", "/success");
     res->setStatusCode(303);
   }
   else 
   {
     res->setStatusCode(500);
     res->setStatusText("Upload failed");
   }
 }

The upload works, stores the file in the ESP32 SPIFFS file system (using LittleFS) and here are the file contents (printed out as ASCII character and Hex value):

Picojpeg rejects the file and throws error 19.

I tested Picojpeg using a jpeg file I created in Pixelmator for Mac and Picojpeg works fine. I use the same HTTPS Server code to upload the file contents. I use this HTML:

<form action=upload method=post enctype=multipart/form-data>
<input type=file name=name>
<input class=button type=submit value=Upload>
</form>

This uploads the Jpeg file correctly. And Picojpeg decodes the jpeg image correctly and with no error.

I'm not sure where to go next? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi - Sorry you're using a bunch of technologies which aren't my strong suite (like web tech). If you're having a problem with the decoder itself, I would be glad to help.
