File upload to HTTP servlet failing with HTTP 415

Troy_Kelley

Hello,

I grabbed the Enterprise Web Services 9.7.1 sample code (Java) for uploading large files using the servlet.

https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/cs.dll/fetch/2001/15080935/-15106263/15106294/15106295/16376487/17990637/15623088/19572224/clientguide.html#content.http

When writing a test, I can successfully send the HTTP request and binary file data to the servlet.  However, I get the following once the request is complete:

java.io.IOException : Server returned HTTP response code: 415 for URL: http://1.0.07:8080/les/services/Authentication?token=efklz4xGfr%252BSr2DxKZa9vcfNXY8q%252F7FDicDjjnQ6HgI%253D&contextID=239198869&fileName=Groovy_in_Action_Se_v15_MEAP.pdf&fileSize=10224939

at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream( HttpURLConnection.java:1459 )

I've tried changing the "content-type" header value in the request to some different values (such as application/pdf for a pdf doc) as well as removing the content-type header altogether. 

I cannot understand why the servlet is not accepting the file.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

-Troy

It would be interesting to know what you are attempting to do. The authentication web services is only designed authentication purposes and tokens derived from the web service calls are to be used in sub-sequent calls to access your Content/Livelink Server. Based on the URL that is being pumped out in the excepetion, you seem to be attempting to access a document through the authentication web service when you should be attempting to access the document through the document management web service. I suggest taking a look at the examples in the following URL to start:
