can't post "source" data to facebook request "me/photos"

hi,

related to this:
http://developer.anscamobile.com/forum/2011/03/23/how-create-multipart-mime-data

i tried adding the data from a binary read of a .jpg file into a facebook request to “me/photos”

[lua]facebook.request(“me/photos”, “POST”, { message=“hello”, source=myBinaryReadOfJPG }[/lua]

but could not get facebook to accept it.

I don’t think this is implemented in Corona yet. otherwise I am doing something wrong. please advise.

maybe you do not set the “Content-Type” in the headers for the data chunk?

regards
J

i think this would make sense but it doesn’t work so i guess it isn’t implemented…

[lua]local path = system.pathForFile( “image.jpg” )
local imgfile = io.open( path, “rb” )
local imgData = ltn12.source.file(imgfile)

local args= {
message=“hello”,
source = imgData
}

facebook.request(“me/photos”, “POST”, args)[/lua]

the response is:

{"error":{"type":"OAuthException","message":"(#324) Requires upload file"}}

it would still be good if there was an encoder for a display group that didn’t rely on saving to disk first though

thanks

This is functionality that is “must have”. [import]uid: 40100 topic_id: 8231 reply_id: 36416[/import]

What about mime encoding the image (like the binary upload example)?

All that’s needed is the oAuth token ID after that, right?

Any news on this topic?
Now I can post message on Facebook wall, and also can post message with photo with link, but I can’t upload a photo.

I had try several method but failed all the time.

Is post photo to “me/photos” implemented into Facebook library?

Any suggestion is welcome.

Thanks
