Httplistenerresponse fails to respond with an image

Hello,

I’m trying to send an image from my SD-card to the browser with a webservice, but my keeps saying that the image is corrupt or truncated.

This is the code I am using


string rootDirectory = VolumeInfo.GetVolumes()[0].RootDirectory;
string pathName = rootDirectory + @ "\system_Webserver\quotes.gif";

byte[] buf = new byte[4096];
FileStream fileToServe = new FileStream(pathName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
long fileLength = fileToServe.Length;
// Once we know the file length, set the content length.
response.ContentLength64 = fileLength;
// Send HTTP headers. Content lenght is ser
Debug.Print("File length " + fileLength);
// Now loops sending all the data.

                
for (long bytesSent = 0; bytesSent < fileLength; )
{
   // Determines amount of data left.
   long bytesToRead = fileLength - bytesSent;
   bytesToRead = bytesToRead < 4096 ? bytesToRead : 4096;
   // Reads the data.
   fileToServe.Read(buf, 0, (int)bytesToRead);
   // Writes data to browser
   //response.OutputStream.Write(buf, 0, (int)bytesToRead);
                   
   System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(10);
   // Updates bytes read.
   bytesSent += bytesToRead;
   // Debug.GC(true);
    }

fileToServe.Close();
                                
response.ContentType = "image/gif";
messageBytes = buf;

response.StatusCode = (int)HttpStatusCode.OK;

response.ContentLength64 = messageBytes.Length;
                        
using (Stream output = response.OutputStream) 
                    output.Write(messageBytes, 0, messageBytes.Length);
 
response.Close();

Can anyone help me? I already looked at all the available info about webservices on tinyCLR

how about this :


   static void SendFileOverHTTP(HttpListenerResponse response, string strFilePath )
        {
            if (strFilePath.IndexOf(".cs") != -1 ||
                 strFilePath.IndexOf(".txt") != -1 ||
                 strFilePath.IndexOf(".csproj") != -1
               )
            {
                response.ContentType = "text/plain";
            }

            if (strFilePath.IndexOf(".jpg") != -1 ||
                strFilePath.IndexOf(".bmp") != -1 ||
                strFilePath.IndexOf(".jpeg") != -1
              )
            {
                response.ContentType = "image";
            }

            if (strFilePath.IndexOf(".htm") != -1 ||
                strFilePath.IndexOf(".html") != -1
              )
            {
                response.ContentType = "text/html";
            }

            if (strFilePath.IndexOf(".mp3") != -1)
            {
                response.ContentType = "audio/mpeg";
            }

            FileStream fileToServe = null;
            try
            {
                fileToServe = new FileStream(strFilePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
                long fileLength = fileToServe.Length;
                // Once we know the file length, set the content length.
                response.ContentLength64 = fileLength;
                // Send HTTP headers. Content lenght is ser
                Debug.Print("File length " + fileLength);
                // Now loops sending all the data.

                byte[] buf = new byte[4096];
                for (long bytesSent = 0; bytesSent < fileLength; )
                {
                    // Determines amount of data left.
                    long bytesToRead = fileLength - bytesSent;
                    bytesToRead = bytesToRead < 4096 ? bytesToRead : 4096;
                    // Reads the data.
                    fileToServe.Read(buf, 0, (int)bytesToRead);
                    // Writes data to browser
                    response.OutputStream.Write(buf, 0, (int)bytesToRead);

                    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100);
                    // Updates bytes read.
                    bytesSent += bytesToRead;
                }
                fileToServe.Close();
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                if (fileToServe != null)
                {
                    fileToServe.Close();
                }
                throw e;
            }

        }

was taking directly from the sample folder that is installed on your system :wink:


C:\Documents and Settings\[b]YourLoginName[/b]\My Documents\Microsoft .NET Micro Framework 4.1\Samples\HttpServer\HttpServer

and you would call it like this on your event:


        static private string GetPathFromURL(string URL)
        {
            char[] szFilePath = URL.ToCharArray();
            
            for( int i = 0, length = szFilePath.Length; i <  length; i++ )
            {
                if (szFilePath[i] == '/')
                {
                    szFilePath[i] = '\\'; 
                }
            }
            // Return updated string with \SD in front
            return new string( szFilePath );
        }


 private static void ProcessClientGetRequest( HttpListenerContext context )
        {
            HttpListenerRequest request = context.Request;
            HttpListenerResponse response = context.Response;

            string strFilePath = GetPathFromURL(request.RawUrl); //your path to your image.
                  
            response.StatusCode = (int)HttpStatusCode.OK;
            // Find if file is present. If file exists - sends its context
            if (File.Exists(strFilePath))
            {
                SendFileOverHTTP(response, strFilePath);
            }
}

Enjoy!

I’ve tried it before, I don’t get it to work.

No errors are thrown, but my browser keeps telling me that the image couldn’t be shown because it contains errors

4

in that case,
i would try a small image…just to make sure it works.
use MSPAINT to create it.

Ohh, but it’s small, 351 bytes with a resolution of 15px on 13px

LOL maybe you should try something a little bigger then, a few KB … :smiley:

You might want to use my webserver extension: http://code.tinyclr.com/project/243/webserver-extension-for-fez-cobra/
