IF we remove the PostImageFileUploadContext parameter it posts fine, however the doucmetnation states this accepts a string. What are we doing wrong?
IF we remove the PostImageFileUploadContext parameter it posts fine, however the doucmetnation states this accepts a string. What are we doing wrong?
Are you evaluating the actual responses to get the error? Also again, please do not use the SDK. You cannot use it for file uploading which this requires as the post image url context is the string used when uploading the actual image. Second, you provided the string, but no PostImageFileName.
I have stated this in previous threads as well, you do not concatenate data into a url. Blog Id is a Path Parameter, you set the url to /blogs/{blogid}/posts.xml then define blogid as a path parameter
I am uploading the images outside of the SDK. I am just using it here for ease of use.
I tired using {blogid} instead of the int value and it was throwing errors so i went back to passing in the INT.
Implementing your suggestions I am still getting the same errors:
Did you look at the response for the error?
Its showing as "Not Found"
Did you actually create and set blogid is PathParameters collection? NOT PostParameters
Ah ha, progress. Now the post is posting and the Image URL but the image is returning a 400 error.
Request:
Then I would make sure you are actually uploading the image correctly
How can we confirm that?
