Use HTTP POST to send file to IIS 7.5 virtual directory

Question

Is it possible to allow HTTP clients to USE HTTP POST (with Content-Type: multipart/form-data) to upload image files to an IIS 7.5 virtual directory without writing server-side code?

Solution 1

Without server-side code, that is not possible. If HTTP POST is a requirement, you need to write code. Otherwise, configure an FTP site on your IIS installation.

If you really need HTTP, consider WebDav:

Solution 2

If you enable public write access in IIS with WebDAV, you can upload files using HTTP PUT requests.
