onComplete in AjaxUpload getting before server side code hits

I am working on some legacy code which is using Asp.net and ajax where we do one functionality to upload a pdf. To upload file our legacy code uses AjaxUpload, but I observed some weird behavior of AjaxUpload where onComplete event is getting called before actual file got uploaded by server side code because of this though the file got uploaded successfully still user gets an error message on screen saying upload failed.
And here the most weird thins is that same code was working fine till last week.
Code:
initFileUpload: function () {
debugger;
new AjaxUpload('aj-assetfile', {
action: '/Util/FileUploadHandler.ashx?type=asset&signup=False&oldfile=' + assetObj.AssetPath + '&as=' + assetObj.AssetID,
//action: ML.Assets.handlerPath + '?action=uploadfile',
name: 'AccountSignupUploadContent',
onSubmit: function (file, ext) {
ML.Assets.isUploading = true;
ML.Assets.toggleAsfMask(true);
// change button text, when user selects file
$asffile.val('Uploading');
$astfileerror.hide();
// If you want to allow uploading only 1 file at time,
// you can disable upload button
this.disable();
// Uploding -> Uploading. -> Uploading...
ML.Assets.interval = window.setInterval(function () {
var text = $asffile.val();
if (text.length < 13) {
$asffile.val(text + '.');
} else {
$asffile.val('Uploading');
}
}, 200);
//if url field block is visible
if ($asseturlbkl.is(':visible')) {
$asfurl.val(''); //reset values of url
$asfurl.removeClass('requiref error'); //remove require field class
$asfurlerror.hide(); //hide errors
}
},
onComplete: function (file, responseJSON) {
debugger;
ML.Assets.toggleAsfMask(false);
ML.Assets.isUploading = false;
window.clearInterval(ML.Assets.interval);
this.enable();
var success = false;
var responseMsg = '';
try {
var response = JSON.parse(responseJSON);
if (response.status == 'success') { //(response.getElementsByTagName('status')[0].textContent == 'success') {
success = true;
} else {
success = false;
responseMsg = ': ' + response.message;
}
} catch (e) {
success = false;
}
if (success) {
assetObj.AssetMimeType = response.mimetype;
$asffile.val(response.path);
$asffile.valid(); //clear errors
ML.Assets.madeChanges();
if (ML.Assets.saveAfterUpload) { //if user submitted form while uploading
ML.Assets.saveAsset(); //run the save callback
}
} else { //error
assetObj.AssetMimeType = "";
$asffile.val('');
$astfileerror.show().text('Upload failed' + responseMsg);
//if url field block is visible and type is not free offer.
if ($asseturlbkl.is(':visible') && this.type !== undefined && assetObj.AssetType != this.type.FREEOFFER) {
$asfurl.addClass('requiref'); //remove require field class
}
ML.Assets.hideLoader();
}
}
});
}

I was facing the same issue but I fixed it with some minor change in plugin.
When “iframeSrc” is set to “javascript:false” on https or http pages, Chrome now seems to cancel the request. Changing this to “about:blank” seems to resolve the issue.
Old Code:
var iframe = toElement('<iframe src="javascript:false;" name="' + id + '" />');
New Code with chagnes:
var iframe = toElement('<iframe src="about:blank;" name="' + id + '" />');
After changing the code it's working fine. I hope it will work for you as well. :)

How to make progress bar on Ajax Upload

Hi I am using Ajax Upload JS 3.5 is there a way to make a progress upon uploading of image / File ?. All I see in my net is by using the <input type="file"> button and my project is not a bootstrap.
Here is my currently code
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
var extension = "";
var btnUploadDrvr = $("#btnFitaDocBrowse");
var hidFilenameDrvr = $("#imgFitaDoc");
var hidDoccFrame = $("#frmFitaDoc");
InitAjaxUpload(btnUploadDrvr, hidFilenameDrvr, hidDoccFrame );
function InitAjaxUpload(btnUpload, imgHolder, hidDoccFrame) {
new AjaxUpload(btnUpload, {
action: '../UploadDownload/UploadLocalPic',
data: '',
name: 'uploadfile',
onSubmit: function (file, ext) {
extension = ext[0];
if (!(ext && /^(jpg|png|jpeg|gif|pdf|PDF)$/.test(ext))) {
alert("File format is not supported.");
return false;
}
},
onComplete: function (file, response) {
//Add uploaded file to list
if (response !== "failed") {
$("#frmFitaDoc").attr('src', 'data:application/pdf;base64,' + response);
}
}
});
}
});
And I saw this can this be possible to embed in my code?.

MVC Jquery file upload Request.Files is always empty

I have been searching online looking for the answer to this problem but I cannot seem to find anything that works, I have the following Controller code:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult UploadFiles()
{
// If files exist
if (Request.Files != null && Request.Files.Count > 0)
{
// ** Do stuff
return Json(new { result = true, responseText = "File(s) uploaded successfully" });
}
// Return no files selected
return Json(new { result = false, responseText = "No files selected" });
}
And following code in my cshtml page which works fine and the controller can see the files that I upload:
<input type="file" name="files" id="files" accept="image/*;capture=camera" multiple>
<button type="button" onclick="submitform()">Submit</button>
<script>
function submitform(){
// Get files from upload
var files = $("#files").get(0).files;
// Create form data object
var fileData = new FormData();
// Loop over all files and add it to FormData object
for (var i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
fileData.append(files[i].name, files[i]);
}
// Send files to controller
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("POST", "/Quotes/QuoteFiles/UploadFiles", false);
xhr.send(fileData);
}
</script>
However when I try and change this to work using an Ajax call as shown below then Request.Files in the Controller always has no files. The only bit I have changed is the "Send files to controller" part:
<input type="file" name="files" id="files" accept="image/*;capture=camera" multiple>
<button type="button" onclick="submitform()">Submit</button>
<script>
function submitform(){
// Get files from upload
var files = $("#files").get(0).files;
// Create form data object
var fileData = new FormData();
// Loop over all files and add it to FormData object
for (var i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
fileData.append(files[i].name, files[i]);
}
// Send files to controller
$.ajax({
url: '/Quotes/QuoteFiles/UploadFiles',
type: "POST",
contentType: false, // Not to set any content header
processData: false, // Not to process data
data: fileData,
success: function (result) {
alert(result);
},
error: function (err) {
alert(err.statusText);
}
});
}
</script>
I am running this in Google Chrome but I have tried IE 11 and Edge but not of them work. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

try using a fileReader instead of a formData and change the mimetype to 'text/plain; charset=x-user-defined-binary'
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Using_files_from_web_applications#Example_Uploading_a_user-selected_file

I have finally found what was causing this issue, I have the following code on my _Layout.cshtml page which is there to automatically send the AntiForgeryToken on any ajax requests I make, this appears to be causing the problem because once I remove it Request.Files is not empty. I now need to see if I can find a way to add this code back in where it will not stop file uploads working:
$(document).ready(function () {
var securityToken = $('[name=__RequestVerificationToken]').val();
$(document).ajaxSend(function (event, request, opt) {
if (opt.hasContent && securityToken) { // handle all verbs with content
var tokenParam = "__RequestVerificationToken=" + encodeURIComponent(securityToken);
opt.data = opt.data ? [opt.data, tokenParam].join("&") : tokenParam;
// ensure Content-Type header is present!
if (opt.contentType !== false || event.contentType) {
request.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", opt.contentType);
}
}
});
});
**** EDIT ****
I have now reworked this as shown below to add 'if(opt.data != "[object FormData]"' which resolves the issue by not calling the code if it is a file upload:
$(document).ready(function () {
var securityToken = $('[name=__RequestVerificationToken]').val();
$(document).ajaxSend(function (event, request, opt) {
if (opt.hasContent && securityToken) { // handle all verbs with content
// If not "FormData" (i.e. not a file upload)
if (opt.data != "[object FormData]")
{
var tokenParam = "__RequestVerificationToken=" + encodeURIComponent(securityToken);
opt.data = opt.data ? [opt.data, tokenParam].join("&") : tokenParam;
// ensure Content-Type header is present!
if (opt.contentType !== false || event.contentType) {
request.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", opt.contentType);
}
}
}
});
});

PHP AJAX upload is not working correctly with php://input

I am trying to use the JavaScript/jQuery Ajax File Uploader by Jordan Feldstein available at https://github.com/jfeldstein/jQuery.AjaxFileUpload.js
It is an older library but still very popular due to it's simplicity and for being so lightweight (around 100 lines) and you can attach it to a single form input filed and it simply works! You select a file as normal with the form inut filed and on selection it instantly uploads using AJAX and returns the uploaded file URL.
This makes the library good for my use where I am uploading a file inside a modal window which is also generate with AJAX and I have used this library in many similar projects.
My backend is using PHP and Laravel and that is where my issue seems to be.
My test script works but when I implement it into my Laravel app it returns this error....
ERROR: Failed to write data to 1439150550.jpg, check permissions
This error is set in my controller below when this code is not retuning a value...
$result = file_put_contents( $folder . '/' .$filename, file_get_contents('php://input') );
So perhaps this part file_get_contents('php://input') does not contain my file data?
It does create the proper directory structure and even a file which is /uploads/backing/2015/08/1439150550.jpg
The 1439150550.jpg is a timestamp of when the upload took place. It create this file in the proper location however the file created has no content and is 0 bytes!
Below is my Laravel Controller action which handles the back-end upload and below that the JavaScript....
PHP Laravel Controller Method:
public function uploadBackingStageOneFile(){
// Only accept files with these extensions
$whitelist = array('ai', 'psd', 'svg', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'png', 'gif');
$name = null;
$error = 'No file uploaded.';
$destination = '';
//DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR
$utc_str = gmdate("M d Y H:i:s", time());
$utc = strtotime($utc_str);
$filename = $utc . '.jpg';
$folder = 'uploads/backing/'.date('Y') .'/'.date('m');
//if Directory does not exist, create it
if(! File::isDirectory($folder)){
File::makeDirectory($folder, 0777, true);
}
// Save Image to folder
$result = file_put_contents( $folder . '/' .$filename, file_get_contents('php://input') );
if (!$result) {
Log::info("ERROR: Failed to write data to $filename, check permissions");
return "ERROR: Failed to write data to $filename, check permissions\n";
}
$url = $folder . '/' . $filename;
return Response::json(array(
'name' => $name,
'error' => $error,
'destination' => $url
));
}

onCancel: function() {

The problem is like you said, file_get_contents('php://input') does not contain your file data.
jQuery.AjaxFileUpload plugin wrap file input element with a form element that contains enctype="multipart/form-data" attribute. 1
From php documentation: 2
php://input is not available with enctype="multipart/form-data".

Titanium studio trying to save image from blob

I am using titanium studio and i am trying to save am image from a POST request.
function buyImage(s){
var userName = Ti.App.Properties.getString('username');
var email = Ti.App.Properties.getString('email');
var encKey = Ti.App.Properties.getString('key');
var client = Ti.Network.createHTTPClient({
// function called when the response data is available
onload : function(e) {
Ti.API.info("Key Text: " + this.responseData);
Titanium.Media.saveToPhotoGallery(this.responseData,{
success: function(e) {
Titanium.UI.createAlertDialog({
title:'Photo Gallery',
message:'Check your photo gallery for you image'
}).show();
},
error: function(e) {
Titanium.UI.createAlertDialog({
title:'Error saving',
message:e.error
}).show();
}
});
Titanium.UI.createAlertDialog({title:'Photo Gallery',message:'Photo saved to gallery'}).show();
},
onerror : function(e) {
Ti.API.info(e.error);
alert('error');
},
timeout : 5000 // in milliseconds
});
// Prepare the connection.
client.open("POST", "http://somesite/create/save?userName="+userName+"&encryptionKey="+encKey+"&email="+email+"&recordId="+s);
// Send the request.
client.send();
The image says it saves ok and it says the responce data is a TiBlob but the image does not seem to save at all. When the same post is done in a post event in a browser you are prompted to download the image.
any ideas?
