 AddFile Method
      
 

Description

Adds new file item to the collection.


Return Type

None  


Syntax

object.AddFile Name, Filename, [ContentType]



The AddFile Method syntax has these parts:

Part Description
object An expression evaluating to an object of type HttpRequestFormUpload.
Name Required. A String value. Name of the part in the multipart request.
Filename Required. A String value. Full path to filename that will be opened, and its contents are pasted into the request.
ContentType Optional. A Variant value. String expression as content-type to be specified for this part.

Remarks

AddFile will add file from your local disk and make separate part for multi-part request (for form-based upload). Typically, you will use it when you need to upload files to the server. Instead of specifying filename of your files in Request.Filename property and then issuing POST (or even PUT), you should do it using AddFile method.

Contents of the file will be pasted into the request using special structure, so that script on the server you're accessing with URL property can properly parse the request, and take this file out of the request.

You can specify content-type argument if you know type of the file you're uploading. If not specified, wodHttpDLX will put 'application/octet-stream' as default, which represent binary files.
