SWFUpload Authentication
- by durilai
I am using SWFUpload to do file uploading in a ASP.NET MVC 1.0 website. It is working fine, but I am not able to authenticate the upload method. The HttpContext.User.Identity.Name returns an empty string. I am assuming this is because the Flash movie is making the post. I am also using the wrapper provided here: http://blog.codeville.net/2008/11/24/jquery-ajax-uploader-plugin-with-progress-bar/.
The controller action below gets fired, but as mentiond above the user object is not passed.
Any help is appreciated!
View
HTML
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="/Media/Upload/Photo">
<input type="file" id="userPhoto_Photo" name="userPhoto_Photo" />
</form>
Javascript
$(function() {
$("#userPhoto").makeAsyncUploader({
upload_url: '/Media/Upload',
flash_url: '<%= Url.Content("~/Content/Flash/swfUpload-2.2.0.1.swf") %>',
file_size_limit: '1 MB',
file_types: '*.jpg; *.png; *.gif',
button_action: SWFUpload.BUTTON_ACTION.SELECT_FILE,
button_width: 210,
button_height: 35,
button_image_url: '<%= Url.Content("~/Content/Images/UploadPhoto.png") %>',
button_text: '',
button_cursor: SWFUpload.CURSOR.HAND,
button_window_mode: SWFUpload.WINDOW_MODE.TRANSPARENT
});
});
Controller Action
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult Upload()
{
if (Request.Files.Count == 1)
{
//Upload work
}
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Profile");
}
