Java – Upload image files from Android to an aspx web server

I’m trying to upload the file fmarom android to a web server, using aspx on the server side,
I’m using sample code that I found at: http://www.codicode.com/art/upload_files_from_android_to_a_w.aspx
My problem is that I get this error message:
java.net.ProtocolException: The request body: POST method does not support it.

Now I’m

looking for this error message and I find that I’m having a problem on the server side,
The solution to my problem is to enable both HTTP GET and HTTP POST on the server,
By editing Web.config like this.

<configuration>
    <system.web>
    <webServices>
        <protocols>
            <add name="HttpGet"/>
            <add name="HttpPost"/>
        </protocols>
    </webServices>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

But still have the same error message in this line:

DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream());

Here is my class code:

My MainActivity code:

try {

                    FileInputStream fstrm = new FileInputStream(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString()+ File.separator  + "bina/shruttech/3_0.png");

 Set your server page url (and the file title/description)
                    HttpFileUpload hfu = new HttpFileUpload("http://XXXX:8080/fileup.aspx", "mytitle","mydescription");

hfu. Send_Now(fstrm);

} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                     Error: File not found
                  }

My fileup.aspx code:

protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  string vTitle = "";
  string vDesc = "";
  string FilePath = Server.MapPath("/files/cur_file.mp4");        

if (!string. IsNullOrEmpty(Request.Form["title"]))
  {
    vTitle = Request.Form["title"];
  }
  if (!string. IsNullOrEmpty(Request.Form["description"]))
  {
    vDesc = Request.Form["description"];
  }

HttpFileCollection MyFileCollection = Request.Files;
  if (MyFileCollection.Count > 0)
  {
     Save the File
    MyFileCollection[0]. SaveAs(FilePath);
  }
}
