cfhttp multipart & facebook

Question

I'm playing with the facebook graph api, and was attempting to send an image to my wall. According to facebook, you just send the image, your access key & a caption... see below my code:

<cfoutput>
 <cfif fileexists("D:\myPath\images\menubar.jpg")>
  <cfhttp method="post" url="https://graph.facebook.com/me/photos" multipart="yes">   
   <cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="access_token" value="myAccessToken">
   <cfhttpparam type="file" name="source" file="D:\myPath\images\menubar.jpg">
   <cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="message" value="this is a test picture.">
  </cfhttp>
  <cfdump var="#cfhttp#">
 </cfif>
</cfoutput>

When I run this, I get a 400 bad request error ("OauthException an unknown error occurred" returns from facebook). Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

Answer 1

can you check your access token format? usually parameters set as access_token=somedata&expires=sometimestamp At the statement you mentioned above, you have to pass just access token literally. I make it bold here. access_token=somedata&expires=sometimestamp

I've been trying to solve the same problem nearly for 3 hours. :) and finally did!
