Server-side Scripting

DWT is a 100% client-side library. However, it does need to interact with the server when doing operations like Upload, Download, Server-side OCR, etc. While the scripts are scattered in the documentation, we’ll try to cover some important ones in this article.

How to process uploaded files

As mentioned in how to upload, DWT sends an HTTP POST request to the server when doing an upload. The file in the POST Form has the name RemoteFile by default. If you wish to change that, you can use HttpFieldNameOfUploadedImage .

The following assumes the default RemoteFile is used and that extra Form fields might accompany the file.

Upload via CSharp

Regular upload

string strImageName, strImageSize;
HttpFileCollection files = HttpContext.Current.Request.Files;
/**
 * Writes the file to the disk
 */
HttpPostedFile uploadfile = files["RemoteFile"];
strImageName = uploadfile.FileName;
string strImageSavePath = Server.MapPath(".") + "\\Dynamsoft_Upload\\";
if (!System.IO.Directory.Exists(strImageSavePath))
{
    System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(strImageSavePath);
}
String strInputFile = strImageSavePath + strImageName;
uploadfile.SaveAs(strInputFile);
/**
 * The following writes the fields to a file
 */
string path = strInputFile.Substring(0, strInputFile.Length - 4) + "_1.txt";
int fieldsCount = HttpContext.Current.Request.Form.Count;
if(fieldsCount > 0){
    if (!System.IO.File.Exists(path))
    {
        using (System.IO.FileStream fs = new System.IO.FileStream(path, System.IO.FileMode.Create, System.IO.FileAccess.Write))
        {
            using (System.IO.StreamWriter sw = new System.IO.StreamWriter(fs, Encoding.UTF8))
            {
                for (int i = 0; i < fieldsCount; i++)
                {
                    // Create a file to write to.
                    sw.WriteLine(HttpContext.Current.Request.Form.Keys[i] + " :  " + HttpContext.Current.Request.Form[HttpContext.Current.Request.Form.Keys[i]] + Environment.NewLine);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Segmented upload

String filename = Request["filename"];
String range = Request.Headers["Content-Range"];
String md5 = Request.Headers["dwt-md5"];
if (range != null)
{
    /**
     * The header "Content-Range" signals that it's segmented
     * The following stitches the segments together.
     */
    string[] ary = range.Replace("bytes ", "").Replace("-", "/").Split('/');
    int start, end, size;
    start = Convert.ToInt32(ary[0]);
    end = Convert.ToInt32(ary[1]);
    size = Convert.ToInt32(ary[2]);
    String strImageName = "";
    HttpFileCollection files = HttpContext.Current.Request.Files;
    HttpPostedFile uploadfile = files["RemoteFile"];
        if (!Directory.Exists(Server.MapPath(".") + "\\Images"))
            Directory.CreateDirectory(Server.MapPath(".") + "\\Images");
    if (filename == null || filename == "")
        filename = uploadfile.FileName;
    if (uploadfile != null)
    {
        if (!Directory.Exists(Server.MapPath(".") + "\\Images"))
            Directory.CreateDirectory(Server.MapPath(".") + "\\Images");
        strImageName = Server.MapPath(".") + "\\Images\\" + filename;
        Stream ifs = uploadfile.InputStream;
        byte[] bytes = null;
        bytes = new byte[ifs.Length];
        ifs.Read(bytes, 0, (int)ifs.Length);
        FileStream fs;
        if (File.Exists(strImageName))
        {
            fs = new FileStream(strImageName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.ReadWrite);
        }
        else
        {
            fs = new FileStream(strImageName, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.ReadWrite);
        }
        if (start > fs.Length)
        {
            fs.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.End);

            for (long i = 0; i < (fs.Length - start); i++)
                fs.WriteByte(0);
        }
        fs.Seek(start, SeekOrigin.Begin);
        fs.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
        fs.Flush();
        fs.Close();
    }
}
else
{
    // Compatible with regular uploads
    HttpFileCollection files = HttpContext.Current.Request.Files;
    HttpPostedFile uploadfile = files["RemoteFile"];
    if (filename == null || filename == "")
    {
        filename = uploadfile.FileName;
    }
    uploadfile.SaveAs(Server.MapPath(".") + "\\Images\\" + filename);

Upload via JSP

Use JSP packages to save the uploaded file

The following packages are required

<%@  page language="java" import="java.io.*,java.util.*,org.apache.commons.fileupload.*,org.apache.commons.fileupload.disk.*,org.apache.commons.fileupload.servlet.*"%>

Resend the uploaded file by email

The following code uses ASP. NET (CSharp)

  • Configure the server (Gmail as an example)
‹system.net›
‹mailSettings›
    ‹smtp from="***@gmail.com"›
        ‹network host="smtp.gmail.com" port="25" userName="***@gmail.com" password="***" enableSsl="true"/›
    ‹/smtp›
‹/mailSettings›
‹/system.net›
  • Make use of the System.Net.Mail namespace
using System.Net.Mail;
  • Add code to email the file as an attachment
HttpFileCollection files = HttpContext.Current.Request.Files;
HttpPostedFile uploadfile = files["RemoteFile"];
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
MailAddress from = new MailAddress("***@gmail.com", " Test", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);
MailAddress to = new MailAddress("***@gmail.com");
MailMessage message = new MailMessage(from, to);
message.Body = "This is a test email sent by ASP.NET";
message.BodyEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
message.Subject = "Just Testing";
message.SubjectEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
// Create the file attachment
Attachment data = new Attachment(uploadfile.InputStream, uploadfile.FileName);
message.Attachments.Add(data);
client.Send(message);
data.Dispose();

Download a file

The following scripts are used for downloading from a URL which points to a server-side script

Download via CSharp

Get a file on the disk

String fileName = "sample.tif";
String filePath = Server.MapPath(".") + "\\files\\" + fileName;
System.IO.FileInfo fileInfo = new System.IO.FileInfo(filePath);
Response.ClearContent();
Response.ClearHeaders();
Response.Clear();
Response.Buffer = true;
String fileNameEncode;
fileNameEncode = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(fileName, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);
fileNameEncode = fileNameEncode.Replace("+", "%20");
String appendedheader = "attachment;filename=" + fileNameEncode;
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", appendedheader);
Response.WriteFile(fileInfo.FullName);

License Checker for OCRPro

When performing a client-side OCR operation with OCRPro , the engine sends HTTP POST requests to the server for license tracking. The following code snippet shows how the requests are redirected to the class LicenseCheckerServer .

The class LicenseCheckerServer is defined in the files CheckLicense.dll and LicenseReader.dll . If you don’t have these files in your application, you can contact Dynamsoft Support or download them from here.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Text;
using System.Drawing;
using CheckLicense;

namespace Dynamsoft
{
    public partial class LicenseChecker : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (this.Request.Form["DTW_AjaxMethod"] != null)
            {
                String strMethod = this.Request.Form["DTW_AjaxMethod"];
                if (strMethod == "CheckLicense")
