Unable to upload file

[Gabriel]

I'm working on the English Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons.

This is roughly my code.

string siteurl = "http://commons.wikipedia.org";
Site wikiSite = new Site(siteurl, name, pw);
page.title = wikiSite.namespaces["6"] + ":" + fileName;
try
            {
                page.Load();
            }
            catch(Exception ex)
            {
                return false;
            }
            if (page.Exists())
            {
                return false;
            }
            try
            {
                page.UploadImage(filepath, "mydesc", "license", "copystatus", "sourceurl");
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {}

My filepath is something like this ""C:\\Documents\\Some Files\\image321abc.jpg" . That should still work, right?

Here's the exception that comes up.
{"The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable."}

   at DotNetWikiBot.Site.GetMediaWikiMessagesEx(Boolean forceLoad)
   at DotNetWikiBot.Page.UploadImage(String filePathName, String description, String license, String copyStatus, String source)

I also noticed this on the Mediawiki page that the login has changed. I'm not sure if this affects DotNetWikiBot.

Thanks,

There's a typo up above. Instead of commons.wikipedia.org, it should be commons.wikimedia.org  . This is not the problem since it's still not working on either http://en.wikipedia.org  or  http://commons.wikimedia.org

Also, to be clear, the exception is caught during the page.UploadImage call.

Ok, here's an update.

Even though an exception is being thrown, the file is still being uploaded. The exact location where it's being thrown is in the GetMediaWikiMessagesEx(bool forceLoad) method and the exact line is

doc.LoadXml(File.ReadAllText(filePathName, Encoding.UTF8));

I can confirm that filePathName contains the file with the html markup.

I've been doing my testing on vgsales.wikia.com, but I'm also getting the exception on Wikimedia Commons.

I'm using ASP.NET 4.0, C#

Yes, thank you for reporting that. It must be one of undiscovered problems connected to excessive .NET XML parser queries (http://www.w3.org/blog/systeam/2008/02/08/w3c_s_excessive_dtd_traffic).

You can try the pre-release corrected version at http://dotnetwikibot.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dotnetwikibot/framework/DotNetWikiBot.cs

More stable solution was introduced in version 2.94.

Thank you.

I deployed my app on a shared hosting webserver and I'm not receiving this error.

I'm not sure what is the cause of it. Please, checkout the version at http://dotnetwikibot.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dotnetwikibot/framework/DotNetWikiBot.cs and tell me if it helps.
