how do i send and receive videos through rest services?-CodePudding

im supposed to make a system using spring rest services inside containers, where you can upload mp4 videos to a service that stores them, and then preview them . how exactly would i send videos through a REST service in a post or maybe a put request ?

CodePudding user response：

You could try to make your file to a base64 encoded string that can be decoded by your RESTful api.

File to base64:

try {
   ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
   ObjectOutputStream objectOutputStream = new ObjectOutputStream(outputStream);

   objectOutputStream.writeObject(myFile);

   objectOutputStream.close();
   return Base64Coder.encodeLines(outputStream.toByteArray());
} catch (IOException exception) {
   throw exception;
}

Base64 to file:

try {
   ByteArrayInputStream inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(Base64Coder.decodeLines(base64));
   ObjectInputStream objectInputStream = new ObjectInputStream(inputStream);

   File result = (File) objectInputStream.readObject();

   objectInputStream.close();
   return result;
} catch (Exception exception) {
   throw exception;
}

In this example im using the Base64Coder from snakeyaml

Gradle:
