Track binary files

[FelixSFD]

In some cases, it might be useful to track a binary file. (SOBotics/Guttenberg#100)

The current methods only send strings

[NobodyNada]

You can upload binary files to Redunda; just be sure to set the Content-Type to application/octet-stream.

[FelixSFD]

Great! :-) Thanks. I didn't know that

[FelixSFD]

@NobodyNada I'm trying to send a file with this method, but the server returns status 500.

file.getData() returns byte[]

[NobodyNada]

@FelixSFD Hmm, what's the response body?

[NobodyNada]

Also, what's the size of the file you're sending? IIRC there's a size limit, but I don't remember what it is :/

[FelixSFD]

I don't receive the response body, because con.getInputStream() throws the IOExcpetion before I can read the body. :-/

java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 500 for URL: https://redunda.sobotics.org/bots/data/._slash_target_slash_guttenberg_dash_0.8.0.jar?key=aa6...87e7

The size is 10.3 MB

@FelixSFD Hmm, [status-norepro]. Can you try to figure out a way to get the response body, as that should contain the error message? Does this SO answer help?

[FelixSFD]

Mysql2::Error: MySQL server has gone away: ROLLBACK

That's the full response:
response.txt

[NobodyNada]

@FelixSFD ...That's a weird error. I'll take a closer look later, but I'll probably end up having to ask Undo or Art. FYI that error page includes your instance key, so you'll need to revoke it and generate a new one. Just click on the "Revoke" button on the instance key dialog.

@FelixSFD Try again - it may have been related to the disk space problem we had earlier on today.

[FelixSFD]

@ArtOfCode- no. :-/ Still the same error
