Sending/Streaming large files in an automated fashion via http (and avoiding the firewall) -
i've created vbscript collects event data windows machine , stores in csv file.
i want upload data via http our office server, file sizes quite large. looked @ multipart/streaming solutions, im told if initiate these file uploads programmatically, http proxies or firewalls block/deny requests?
can confirm if indeed true, , way around that? need have programmed solution in place upload files, , cant rely on end-user manually invoke upload (as understand around firewall/http proxy issue)
can or advise on matter?
i found previous answer, wasnt sure if applies me? solution programmatically imitating browser file upload request, or ask user 'pick file'?
to know if blocked have try it, if have code tried errors encounter. general advise:
compress csv before sending, gains impressive.
try use synchronising service dropbox, passes firewalls if configured.
if security not big issue , ftp port open in firewall try transfer ftp, there vbs scripts have fiddle until works.
if abolutely nothing else works can use regular browser , have script interact it. try autoit activex, don't try sendkeys.
if wanting learn, try language, more easy in language ruby has far more options use internet communication , handle proxy's etc.
