Github file upload - Error waiting response from the server.

[jcpetu]

hey guys,

I'm trying to upload some file to Github but I kept getting Error waiting response from the server. I will appreciate any help.

Basically I tried to mimic the following Javascript:

expandcollapse popup

var axios = require('axios'); 
var fs = require('fs');
    var base64 = require('base-64');
    

    let token = "ghp_SgpPBp7XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
    let file = fs.readFileSync("abc.txt").toString();
    console.log(file);
    var content = base64.encode(file);
    console.log(content);
    uploadFileApi(token, content)
    
    
function uploadFileApi(token, content) {

    
        var data = JSON.stringify({
            "message": "txt file",
            "content": `${content}`
        });
    
        var config = {
            method: 'put',
            url: 'https://api.github.com/repos/sumit-s03/Test/contents/abc.txt',
            headers: {
                'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}`,
                'Content-Type': 'application/json'
            },
            data: data
        };
    
        axios(config)
            .then(function (response) {
                console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data));
            })
            .catch(function (error) {
                console.log(error);
            });
    }

and here is my script:

expandcollapse popup

#include <array.au3>
#include "WinHttp.au3"

Global $User = 'user'
Global $Token = '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'
Global $Address = 'https://api.github.com/repos/repositoryfolder/repositorysubfolder' ;Error waiting response from the server.
Global $FileToUpload = Base64Encode(@ScriptDir & "\test1.txt")

FilePost($Address, $User, $Token, $FileToUpload)

Func FilePost($Address, $User, $Token, $FileToUpload)
    Local $Open = _WinHttpOpen()
    Local $Connect = _WinHttpConnect($Open, $Address, 443) ;$INTERNET_DEFAULT_HTTPS_PORT=443
    Local $Request = _WinHttpOpenRequest($Connect, 'PUT', $Address, 'HTTP/1.1') ;PUT required to upload files to Github
    _WinHttpAddRequestHeaders($Request, "Autorization: Bearer " & $Token)
    _WinHttpAddRequestHeaders($Request, 'Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8')

    Local $Body = '{"file_name": "' & "test1.txt" & _
            '", "file_type": "' & "txt file" & _
            '", "content": "' & $FileToUpload & '"}' & @CRLF
    ConsoleWrite("--->Json: " & $Body & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("$Address " & $Address & @CRLF)
    _WinHttpSendRequest($Request, Default, $Body)

    _WinHttpReceiveResponse($Request) ;Receive server response
    If @error Then
        _WinHttpCloseHandle($Request)
        _WinHttpCloseHandle($Connect)
        _WinHttpCloseHandle($Open)
        ConsoleWrite('Error waiting response from the server.' & @CRLF)
        Return
    EndIf
    $Chunk = ''
    $Data = ''
    If _WinHttpQueryDataAvailable($Request) Then ;See if there is data to read
        While 1
            $Chunk = _WinHttpReadData($Request)
            If @error Then ExitLoop
            $Data &= $Chunk
        WEnd
    Else
        ConsoleWrite('Site is experiencing problems.' & @CRLF)
        Return
    EndIf
    ;Response headers ----------------------------------------------------------------
    $headers = '' ;extract Response headers for logs view
    $headers = _WinHttpQueryHeaders($Request) ;Brings all response headers
    ConsoleWrite($headers & @CRLF)

    ConsoleWrite($Data & @CRLF)

    _WinHttpCloseHandle($Request)
    _WinHttpCloseHandle($Connect)
    _WinHttpCloseHandle($Open)

EndFunc   ;==>FilePost

Thanks in advance.

Did you take a look on my GHAPI.au3 ?

[jcpetu]

Hey mLipok,

I just navigate your GHAPI.au3 post but didn't find any function to submit a file to Github. I also navigate all github links but didn't find anything to for e.g. the json format to upload a file or something related to upload a file.

You can help yourself by reading the relevant API information on the Github site.

Below is a working example of adding a file to an existing repo.  If you enter the correct access token and repo info into the constants at the top of the script, you should get a similar result.  If you try to add a file that is already there, you will get a 422 response code.  If you want to update a file, you need to add the existing file's SHA hash to the request body's JSON, everything else is the same.

I didn't show an example of converting a file's content to base64.  I used an already converted value.  You should be able to figure out how to do base64 encoding.  There are numerous examples in the forum.

Please delete this token ASAP or get ready to have your account hacked. Just make a new one and don't post it anywhere.
