File upload API

The Upload API allows TeamHaven Mobile clients to upload Pictures to the server. When a Picture is uploaded the server responds with a Guid which can be used as the Answer to a Picture Question.

POST /api/uploads

Upload a file to the server.

Request

The request must be multipart/form-data and the file being uploaded must be the first (and only) part.

Note: Requests can not exceed 64Mb. Maximum acceptable file sizes will be smaller than this as file sizes tend to increase when encoded for HTML upload.

Response

The response body will be a string containing a Guid.

"1baba0de-e668-424a-abb4-2fcd10442bde"

Note: Uploaded files are purged from the server after 14 days.

HEAD /api/uploads/:guid

Check to see if a file still exists on the server.

Response

The HTTP Status Code is used to indicate the presence of the file:

204 - No Content - Indicates that the file exists on the server.
404 - Not Found - Indicates that the file does not exist on the server.
