I have c# code that I use to upload files to ESXi 4.0. The exact same code fails after upgrade to 4.1. I get this error: "This request requires buffering data to succeed."
Any suggestions? I've tried pre-authentication by connecting with the method = "HEAD" (as suggested here: ) but it just hangs.
url is the url to the ESXi datastore with file path and file name.
_cookie is the cookie I get from connecting to the ESXi web service before I do the upload.
HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(url);
req.KeepAlive = false;
req.SendChunked = true;
req.Timeout = Timeout.Infinite;
req.AllowWriteStreamBuffering = false;
req.PreAuthenticate = true;
req.Method = "PUT";
req.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(_login, _password);
req.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.Cookie, _cookie);
using (Stream reqStream = req.GetRequestStream())
{
// Open the local file
using (FileStream rdr = new FileStream(_filepath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read))
{
// Allocate byte buffer to hold file contents
byte[] inData = new byte[http://Int16.MaxValue|http://Int16.MaxValue];
int bytesRead;
long totalBytesRead = 0;
FileInfo inputFileInfo = new FileInfo(_filepath);
long totalBytes = inputFileInfo.Length;
int lastPercent = 0;
while ((bytesRead = rdr.Read(inData, 0, inData.Length)) != 0)
{
reqStream.Write(inData, 0, bytesRead);
totalBytesRead += bytesRead;
}
Array.Resize(ref inData, 0);
}
}
req.GetResponse().Close();
