Android Question multipart vs httpserver library

[kostefar]

Dear All,

I´m using a host that limits URL sizes to 8 kbyte, hence I would need to use multipart messages for anything larger than that when uploading via php to a mysql database. I´m considering using the httpserver library instead, so that in the php script, there´ll be an instruction to retrieve file from URL locally available on the android device, http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/image.jpg and store it in the database.

Are there any dis/advantages anyone could think of in one method over/under the other?

Thanks in advance!

The http server library will not help as the device is not open for incoming connections unless it is connected to a local network and configured properly.

Creating a multipart request is less efficient and more complicated compared to a regular POST request.

Thanks Erel, maybe FTP could be used then?

If your server supports FTP then FTP is a good option.
