tsneterr: (3) URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL

Hello Klaus.

please see the example below. In my example i am posting a zip file with images to a livecode server script

Livecode script

on mouseup
   answer file "Select zip file..."
   if it is empty then exit to top
   put "<file>" & it into tArchive
   if libUrlMultiPartFormData(tForm,"Archive", tArchive) is not empty then
      altlog the long system time & " - error:" & it
   else
      set the httpHeaders to line 1 of tForm 
      altlog the long system time & " - Upload gestartet"
      post line 2 to -1 of tForm to url "https://MYSERVER.COM/upload_bilder.lc"
      put it into  postResult
      set the httpHeaders to empty
      
      switch postResult
         case   postResult begins with "Bildupload fehlgeschlagen" is true
         ## your script for upload error
         break
         case  postResult begins with "Bildupload okay" is true
         ## your script for successful upload
            break
    	end switch
   end if
end mouseup 


Livecode Server script

<?lc
set the errorMode to "inline"
-- check for errors
if $_Files["Archive"][error] is not empty
	then
	-- this output will be used as return value by the mouseup script
		put "Upload-Fehler"  
		
		put the long system time && "- Upload-Fehler - " & $_files["Archive"][error] &return after URL "file:uploaderror.txt"
	else
		put $_Files["Archive"][name] into tFileName
	
       -- check if the correct file was uploaded
	 -- in our case we always  upload a file with same name
	  if tFileName= "bilder_ohne_logo.zip" 
		then 
		-- this output will be used as return value by the mouseup script
			put "Bildupload okay"
			-- here comes the script for processing the uploaded file....
			-- e.g.
			put URL ("binfile:"&tFilename) into URL ("binfile:/home/xxxxxx/public_html/bilder_ohne_logo.zip")			
			exit to top
		end if
?>

I hope there is no error in my example. I simplified my original code for the above example.

In my original version the complete upload and the processing of the uploaded file is automatic w/o user interaction. 
The desktop app creates a zip file and posts that zip file to a Livecode Server script which just handles the upload and then returns a success or failure.
According to the upload script my standalone then calls another script on the server for further processing.


Regards,
Matthias
