Hello,

this API service should be called with a multipart-formdata POST request. Filedata is a file part in that POST request, while all other are regular text / string parts. Your filepath is usually set via the uploaddirectory parameter, which will be interpreted relatively if siteid and or containerid are set (relative to container with id = containerid of site with short name = siteid).

This is posted in CMIS, but you seem to have found a non-CMIS upload API, specifically designed for use with Share.

CMIS has it's own upload API - take a look at the CMIS spec for details.

Thanks,

Hello,

did you mean to say "But doesn't CMIS support Android"? If so, CMIS supports any kind of client, independent of the technical platform, provided they can access the CMIS server via HTTP. If you want to have proper development support, the availability of a suitable client library is the major prerequisite for effective development, but you could theoretically do without. So, Android is supported.

The /api/upload web script is NOT a part of CMIS, but similarily to CMIS available via HTTP.

Have a look at the CMIS wiki entry, CMIS spec, Apache Chemistry and one (of potentially many) existing Android CMIS browsers.

Axel
