HTTPS Upload Files to Web Server using SSL

This example shows how to upload one or more files over SSL (HTTPS) to a web server.

Download Chilkat Perl Module

use chilkat;


$http = new chilkat::CkHttp();

#  Any string unlocks the component for the 1st 30-days.
$success = $http->UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial");
if ($success != 1) {
    print $http->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

#  Build a HTTPS upload request with the files to be uploaded:
$req = new chilkat::CkHttpRequest();
$req->UseUpload();

#  The URL we'll be posting to is:
#  http://www.yourwebserver123abc.com/ConsumeUpload.aspx
#  Therefore, the path part of the URL is:
$req->put_Path("/ConsumeUpload.aspx");

#  Note: You'll need to edit this example to upload to your
#  own web server.

#  Add some files to the request:
#  The 1st argument is an arbitrary name.  It's the POST form field name.
#  The 2nd argument is the filename currently existing on
#  the local filesystem.  It may include an absolute or relative
#  path, or no path at all if it's in the current working directory.
$success = $req->AddFileForUpload("file1","hamlet.xml");
if ($success != 1) {
    print $req->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

$success = $req->AddFileForUpload("file2","dude.gif");
if ($success != 1) {
    print $req->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

#  Send the HTTPS POST and get the response.  Note: This is a blocking call.
#  The method does not return until the full HTTPS response is received.

$domain = "www.yourwebserver123abc.com";
#  The only difference in coding between non-SSL and SSL is
#  the setting of these two arguments to SynchronousRequest:
$port = 443;
$ssl = 1;

$resp = $http->SynchronousRequest($domain,$port,$ssl,$req);
if ($resp eq null ) {
    print $http->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
}
else {
    #  Display the HTML source of the page returned.
    print $resp->bodyStr() . "\r\n";
}
