I am looking to be able to upload a file using a webservice.

My problem is as follows:

a) The webservice method must be accessible from a standard, static HTML page (not served by the .NET web server)

b) The HTML form needs to use the enctype="multipart/form-data" attribute on the FORM tag in order to send the file to the webservice.

c) The webservice method fails because of the enctype attribute.

Can anyone help? (I've seen examples of processing the file using an ASPX page and then calling the webservice from there, but this is not the solution I want - I need the webservice to be called directly).


Regards,

Chris

If you want to be able to call a web service from a plain HTML page, this sounds like more of a very complex JavaScript operation than a web service one. You'll have to write javascript that will read the file locally and then somehow formulate a call to the web service. I don't think this will be very easy. Why the requirement of a static HTML page?
