Transfer.sh response example?

[AeliusSaionji]

Hello! I can't seem to figure out how to get the response from transfer.sh.

The response is just text, but following the documentation regex, I get a "success" message, but nothing else.

(also, could the documentation open in the browser instead of inside the app's chrome view?)

Thanks!

Hello, the reason you are getting just a success message is because Custom Uploader cannot find any value using the parameters you gave to the field. There is actually no need to define a URL parse as by default when leaving the filed blank, it will automatically try to find the url out of the response. The custom url parser is more meant for advanced users anyways as for hosts that do not give you the full url as default, or may have multiple urls in the same response, or if it cannot find that response url for whatever reason.

If you want to use the url parserr, since transfer.sh just gives the url in the full response and nothing more, you can use $response$ in the custom parser which will tell it to give you back the whole server response. I plan on removing $response$ in a future release anyways since it is not really needed anymore. Or if you still want to use regex, it would be $regex:[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\+.~#?&//=]{2,256}\.[a-z]{2,4}\b(\/[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\+.~#?&//=]*)?$ as example to get the full url.

By the way, there was an issue I noticed not too long ago with the way the parser handled regexes, so maybe thats why it could not find any value as well. This has been fixed, and should now be on the latest release

For the following values

• blank
• $response$
• your example regex

all I see is "upload successful", but the result url isn't given to me in any way I can see.
I'm running 1.0.2 (whatever fdroid/izzy gave me) so maybe I'm running into that bug still.

Any empty or valid entry for URL parse just gives me as shown:

transfer.sh doesn't have any account system, so I'm just tossing files into a black hole right now 😄

How intriguing. It works just fine for me. Did you make sure to click "Save" at the bottom once you edited your file host? Make sure you have trasfer.sh set as your file host as well. I am on the same version as you.

I even tested it with your trasfer.sh, and it worked fine. Maybe try importing my transfer.sh configuration?

Yours worked- the difference was that I had Form Data Name as filedata

I was led astray by this

One more small problem - I tried sharing that json to Custom Uploader to test that everything is working, and it seems that .json files specifically will not be uploaded from share target.

[SrS2225a]

Glad to hear that it is working now! Just make sure that the form data field is correct as different hosts like them different ways. filedata should be fine, my guess is to what happend is that you had some kind of field you did not see that should of not been there, and as a result trasfer.sh was giving back a "Null", as I remember falling into a simular issue before. I also made a bug fix that fixes your regex issue, so feel free to re-download it.

Though, I am confused as what you mean by ".json files will not be uploaded to the target". I tested it with transfer.sh on my end and json files work fine. As long as the file host accepts the choosen file type, it will upload as normal. Try with another json file, maybe there is an issue with the one you are trying to upload.

Here's a video of me trying to share the snippet you sent me above, using the snippet you sent me as the server.

Other files work, 🤷

[SrS2225a]

Are all the other files that you tried with were uploaded with the same method? I tried reproducing with the exact same steps as you have mentioned and my json file uploads as normal to transfer.sh. Like I said earlier, try with another json file; it appears there is an issue with that particular file. You could also try choosing the file from the main screen of the app. What it looks like to me is that the app is failing to read the file, but there is not really much that I can do without being able to reproduce it

I tried a different JSON, same story.

Are you on Android 13 yet? Because in a number of bug reports I've filed recently, the problem was some back end change in Android 13.

I was able to share the json to the fastmail app just fine, it's something on custom_uploader's end. I tried to use logcat, but I couldn't see any particularly helpful entries in the log.

I do have this though.

[SrS2225a]

Quite a strange bug indeed. Wired how it is working for me, but not you. I am on android 13 as well and as mentioned earlier, uploading json files work just fine. Have you tried uploading it from the main ui and not with sharing? I would also suggest trying another file host and see if that one works.

Could you also give me your phones modal number and the json file you used so I can see if I can reproduce the error with that?

[AeliusSaionji]

Looks like the problem is specific to shares from Material Files (https://github.com/zhanghai/MaterialFiles)

Although it still only affects json and only is a problem with custom uploader.

Let me know if you can't reproduce the problem with just material files.

[SrS2225a]

Hello,

Thanks for working with me on this. I was able to reproduce the bug with material files. Turns out the reason why you were seeing that bug was because when you used the share functionality files with the mime type of text never get received. My guess is that there is some kind of data stream issue with Material Files causing the library I use to add this functionality to not get the shared data as it would still see that something was shared just fine. Ill create a bug report tomorrow with Material Files about this. In the meantime, I would suggest you stick with your default file manager until this is fixed. 👍
