Java API

[Luzius]

I've just created a small Java library to access the Divshare API.
Some functions do not work yet (uploading images, for example fails
for mysterious reasons while uploading the same files renamed to .txt
succeeds), but if anyone is interested in the library, you can
download it from:
http://www.divshare.com/download/2640707-61e
I'll also send an email to support, maybe they know why image uploads
fail.

I've found the problem with the image uploads: divshare does not allow
uploading images with content-type set to "application/octet-stream".

Hi Luzius,

The system should recognize images with the content type of
application/octet-stream -- is the problem that the files can't be
uploaded, or that they're just not recognized as images once they're
on the site?

Hi Rob

The uploads seems to succeed with "application/octet-stream", but the
system can't find the images when trying to download them (e.g.
http://www.divshare.com/download/2652417-24d). I've fixed the issue by
providing the correct content-type (using Java's
MimeTable.getDefaultTable().getContentTypeFor(filename)).
An updated version of the source code can be found at:

Turns out I've posted the link to the wrong jar file, here's the
correct one:
