Uploading HTML files to an Asset

Scripting & APIs Scripts
#1

I am building an HTML file in a script to upload a report to the Syncro asset.

When I upload an HTML file to Syncro and try to access it from the asset, it seems to be not the same file I uploaded. If I change the file extension of the uploaded file to .TXT, it downloads fine. I can then rename it .html and it renders properly.

Anyone else experience this? Is this a bug? My other thoughts is this may be related to security software on my computer?

Never done this, but some things to keep in mind: CSS, Java, Images, etc will need to be off site reachable. Any issues with that and it can cause it to look funky pretty quickly.

Build it, zip it, upload it. That’s the best workaround for HTML file uploads I’ve been able to find.

the issue seems to be not only related to files uploaded through scripts but it appears sometimes Sometimes to be related to email attachments as well.

Have you tried to make it just a htm instead of html?

If it helps, the PowerShell command to create a .ZIP file is: Compress-Archive $studyOutput -DestinationPath $outputZip -CompressionLevel Fastest

I think I had tried HTM as well. Since I looked at this. I just decided to upload them as TXT files and then rename them when I want to view them. zipping the file makes it very inconvenient for viewing them as well you have to download it unzip it view it.

This really seems like a bug that needs to be addressed.

Just surprise htm doesnt work though considering htm and html are the same thing short of of making sure any css and js calls can be made publicly.
