Does Rho::Network.uploadFile always require a REST API? Oct 15, 2020 5:51:08 GMT

I already have several webservices written in PHP, .NET and RoR which do not use REST and which require the user to browse to the image file and click a button to upload it to the webserver.

I tried to use Network.uploadFile with these by passing the webservice URL and other parameters, but the image file is not getting uploaded.

Does Rho::Network.uploadFile always require a REST webservice/API for image upload?

If anyone has accomplished this without using Rhoconnect, I would be thankful if some sample code can be provided.

Sure, the Rho::Network.uploadFile just uses http POST request and you have to implement the endpoiint on the backend for receiveiving data
