URLExecute for Windows (password issue)

Questions
1

Hello,

I am working on Linux (Ubuntu) and I have written the following function in order to
upload a JSON file (server with ‘url’ adress):

URLExecute[url, "BodyData" ->"{"a"->"b"}","Method" -> "PUT"]

It works fine for Linux.
But it should also work on a Windows Server…

  1. Is the “Method”->“PUT” based on cURL?

  2. Is there another function or a workaround for Windows?

Thanks!

Hello,

I think the key is the username/password restriction (maybe Windows is more conservative…

URLFetch[url, "BodyData" ->"{"a"->"b"}","Method" -> "PUT", "Username"->"...", "Password"->"..."]

works fine. I switched to URLFetch due to MM9

Cheers!

Hi again,

how can I manage to upload images (e.g. JPG or PNG) to a server?

f=Import["image.jpg","JPEG"]    
URLExecute["url", 
     "Method" -> "PUT", "BodyData" -> f, Username->"...", Password->"..."]

does not work:

General::erropts: The value XXX specified for the option BodyData is invalid.

The uplaod with cURL is possible (webdav is installed)

Thanks!
Gordon
