Uploading an attachment from the commandline

I'm trying to upload an attachment to a topic using curl. Looking through the FAQs there's a similar problem (i.e., Question317), but I'm not sure whether there was any conclusive resolution.

Here is the curl command that I'm using:

curl --cookie-jar cookies --verbose -k --user wikiupload:XXXXXXXX -F "noredirect=1" -F "createlink=1"  -F "filecomment=A test attachement" -F "filepath=@./wikitest.png" https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/sailwiki/bin/upload/Sandbox/UploadTesting  

And the response I get from curl is:

 
* About to connect() to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 443 (#0)
*   Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx...
* connected
* Connected to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) port 443 (#0)

Is this the same strikeone issue discussed in Question317? Is there a standard means of doing this through curl? Is there a more detailed recipe for scraping the validation info out of the 'edit' or 'attach' pages?

Thanks,

John

An update:

So I'm trying to follow the general directions sketched out in the older question:

1. Pull the validation key from a similar page (attach or edit), e.g.: e798df7954bea393fd99894b29469a63
2. Pull the FOSWIKISTRIKEONE value out of the cookie: e.g., 752e331eb11e31c06dc1c13aa9d01a57
3. Concatenate the strings (Validation+Cookie)
4. Calculate the MD5-hash from the concatenated string: i.e., e26942957f6cc4e4dc4bbccce41380a8
5. Send this to the 'key_validation' field of the upload POST form:

curl --cookie-jar cookies --verbose -k --user wikiupload:XXXXXXXX -F "noredirect=1" -F "createlink=1"  -F "filecomment=A test attachement" -F "filepath=@./wikitest.png" -F "validation_key=e26942957f6cc4e4dc4bbccce41380a8" https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/sailwiki/bin/upload/Sandbox/UploadTesting

Is that the correct set of operations? I'm still getting the oops redirect response. I don't really know javascript so my interpretation of strikeone.js may be off. Has anyone got this to work?

Take a look at the perl code in http://trac.foswiki.org/browser/trunk/BuildContrib/lib/Foswiki/Contrib/BuildContrib/Targets/upload.pm This module interfaces with strikeone to upload attachments to the foswiki Extensions web.

It may be that you need to login to get the session cookie. There are a couple of other topics to see as well:

• Foswiki:Development/HowToIntegrateWithRequestValidation
• Foswiki:Development/InterfacingWithValidationMethods

Take a look at wikiup at https://bitbucket.org/djerius/wikiup/overview

The wikiup script v1.3.2 is working for me under Foswiki 1.1.9
