Hi there,
I am writing here to get help about UploadImage function as I get several errors with it and I am not sure I am using it properly.
The fragment of the code I use is:
PaginaImmagine = New DotNetWikiBot.Page(MultiWiki, "ufp")
PaginaImmagine.UploadImage("D:\Temp\ht\ufp\ufp.svg", "test1", "test2", "test3", "test4")
Where MultiWiki is a properly initialized Site.
Everything works fine with authentication, but when the file is being uploaded a 404 error is returned
Investigating on this, I found out that DNWB was calling the following page to upload: http://www.lucamauri.net/wikitrek/index.php/wikitrek/index.php?title=Speciale:Upload
This is wrong beacuse "Speciale" is the namespace for the IT-IT language (that wiki is configured in Italian), but "Upload" is the page in English.
Again, this was not working bacease the URI created has duplicated part: "wikitrek/index.php/" is written two times
The correct URI should have been: http://www.lucamauri.net/wikitrek/index.php?title=Special:Upload
So I created a redirect from the former to the latter.
Now the connection can apparently be established correctly, but I get a generic error "Error occurred when uploading image "ufp"." and I am not sure where to investigate now.
Can you please help with this issue?
Thanks for any insight you might provide
Luca

Dear CodeDriller,
thanks for your help, the need for escaping was not clear to me. May I suggest that you state this more clearly in the documentation page of the Page.UploadImage Method ?
Regarding the other two issues, are there any suggestions from your side, or shall I go on with the workaround I used? I am asking because reconfiguring the wiki language anytime I need to upload an image is very impractical and the redirect should not be necessary in my opionion, and that should be fixed.
Thanks
Luca

I saw in the source code that the namespace is queried at the site, while "Upload" is added literally, so I changed the language of the Wiki to EN in order for the code to call:
http://www.lucamauri.net/wikitrek/index.php/wikitrek/index.php?title=Special:Upload

It seems that you didn't escape the string "D:\Temp\ht\ufp\ufp.svg".
It should be
"D:\\Temp\\ht\\ufp\\ufp.svg".Last edit: CodeDriller 2017-09-28

Escaping backslashes concerns all the strings in C# and in most other programming languages. It is not specific to Page.UploadImage() method.

You should use your workarounds for other issues until I have time to investigate them.
Sorry there was a misunderstanding: i am programming in VB.net not C#.net
So unfortunately this does not work either, I still got the same problem
Al these issueas were apparently caused by the same mistake as discussed in https://sourceforge.net/p/dotnetwikibot/discussion/572545/thread/d9d3fdcf/#eca9
I'm glad that everything is all right now. Good Luck!
