How to Upload Image Files Directly to S3 Bucket Using VBScript

In the world of web development, uploading images directly to an S3 bucket can be a daunting task, especially when working with VBScript in a classic ASP environment. If you've found yourself grappling with the error message Property accepts only one-dimensional byte arrays, you are not alone. This common pitfall often presents itself when attempting to upload image data fetched directly from a URL. Today, we’ll explore how to effectively address this issue by modifying your approach to handle the image data correctly.

Understanding the Problem

The issue arises when trying to read an image from a URL and upload it to an S3 bucket using the InAmazon.S3 object in VBScript. The line of code responsible for the upload, AWS.objectDataB = binaryImg, expects a binary representation of the image. However, those obtained directly from the URL may not be formatted correctly, leading to the aforementioned error.

Common Symptoms

Error Message: Property accepts only one-dimensional byte arrays

Failure when uploading images from URLs

The Solution: Save Locally First

After encountering this problem, the most effective solution discovered was to first save the image file locally on the server before attempting to upload it to S3. This ensures that the image data is handled properly, forming a valid byte array that can be processed by the InAmazon.S3 object.

Step-by-Step Implementation

Here’s a refined approach to your existing script that incorporates saving the image locally before uploading it to S3.

1. Modify the url_to_stream Function

Here’s an updated version of the url_to_stream function that includes the necessary modifications:

Key Points

Reading Image Data: The function first fetches the image data from the specified URL.

Saving Locally: It then saves this data to a local file, which is crucial for avoiding upload errors.

Reading the File for Upload: Finally, it loads the saved file to read the correct binary content that can be uploaded successfully.

2. Implementation in the Upload Loop

In your main code loop where you handle image uploads, ensure that you call this revised function:

Conclusion

In summary, the key to successfully uploading images to an S3 bucket with VBScript lies in the step of saving the image file locally before the upload action. By modifying your handling of image URLs to incorporate this step, you eliminate the risk of formatting issues related to binary data. This practical adjustment not only resolves the errors you are likely facing but also optimizes your overall image upload process.

By following these steps, you should be able to upload images efficiently from URLs to your S3 bucket with ease. Happy coding!
