Hello guys,

I quite fighting with OSM API v0.6 and upload GPX track task. I'm developing application for Android and trying to use this method. Firstly I though it should be a problem of login, so I changed login mechanism to OAuth. Anyway same result now.

After selecting track and settings all parameters (description ('test'), tags ('test'), visibility ('public')), uploading always return 400 Bad Request, no content, no error message

---------- REQUEST -----------

You should not use api.osm.org for testing and development. There is an instance of the api on a different database for that at api06.dev.openstreetmap.org

I know. I was testing upload on api06.dev ... but it also not worked. So I tried direct upload by web site also on this api06.dev... where it also not work!! compare to normal api.open ... where upload of same file works without problem (upload deleted, don't worry)

anyway same result on both sites

after another fight-time, problem fixed - so just if anyone have same problem:

seems like OSM server cannot correctly handle com.google.android.common.http.MultipartEntity object. Solution is to use Apache HttpComponents library and it's own implementation of MultipartEntity object. With this is no problem with posting GPX tracks

Hello Enthu,

I'm worried, I can't help here more. Exact reason, why one solution work and second don't is not known to me. My solution was simply - I've changed library I used for different kind. So I can only suggest this to you. If you use any library for sending MutliPart objects over HTTP, then try different library.
