API Base64 - Brown Box problem ??

AshleyUK

💖 Chevereto Fan
Hi,
So I've been trying to upload an image using base64... although it seems to work - "Success Code 200", I appear to be uploading a small 18px x 18px brown box ??
I also had an email from someone having the same problem. So I'm not quite sure what the problem is??

Here's an example of the URL that I'm submitting.

Code:

This is the response:

The image should be:

But this is the image that is being uploaded:

Do you have any idea why I'm getting a brown box ?? Where am I going wrong ?

Ok then. Can you use POST with a URL? Or does the URL only support GET?
If I can, where am I going wrong?

Could you give me an example of how to use POST?
 
Hi Rodolfo,
I have modified my Google Chrome extension to work with V3 as this uses POST, however when I upload the file, I'm still getting the small brown box??

Can you spot anything wrong with this piece of code??

Code:
function uploadImage(website, callback) {

    try {
            if (website == "ultraimg") {
                    ajaxObj = $.ajax({
                    url: "http://ultraimg.com/api/1/upload",
                    type: "POST",
                    timeout: 45000,
                    data:{key:"3374fa58c672fcaad8dab979f7687397", source: encodeURIComponent(canvas.toDataURL().replace(/^data:image\/(png|jpg);base64,/, ""))},
                    dataType: "json",
                    success: function(data) {
                        if(data.status_code == 200) {
                            var imageURL = data.image.display_url;
                            var htmlURL = '<img src="' + data.image.display_url + '" border="0" />';
                            var BBCodeURL = "[IMG]" + data.image.display_url + "[/IMG]";
                            callback({imageURL:imageURL, htmlURL:htmlURL, BBCodeURL:BBCodeURL});
                                Clipboard.copy(imageURL);
                            return;
                        }
                        else {
                            callback({error:"Error: " + data.status_code + " - " + data.status_txt});
                        }
                    }
                });
        }
    } catch (e) {
        callback({error:"Error: " + e + ". Please try later or try another upload site!"});
    }
}

A similar code used to work with Version 2 of Chevereto, but since V3, I've always received the brown box? :S
However other programs such as ShareX works perfectly fine :S

The API response code for the direct link was http://ultraimg.com/images/7daacdf9a41f.png

As far as I can tell, I'm not using the GET method here? So why the brown box still ?

It won't work because you are sending the data using $.ajax and converting the base64 string. PHP base64 string is very sensitive and if the string has the slightest issue it won't work.

If you notice in Chevereto uploader I use the direct HTML 5 XHR to upload the files because every time I used the base64 implementation from javascript it didn't work. So I ended up emulating a html file form.
