The structure looks like the following:
Sly File Agent API
Structure of payload sent
[0]
[profile] <selected location profile>
[n]
[data] <encrypted binary data of file>
[datemodified] <file system date modified>
[extpath] <file path suffix unique to each file>
[filecategory] <used by sql files database when data is returned>
[fileid] <used by sql files database when data is returned>
[filename] <name of file to be saved to disk. Also used by sql files
database when data is returned>
[filepath] <root path to save file to. extpath should be appended to
this>
[operation] <savefile, retrievefile, movefile, deletefile>
[saveaction] <new, newversion, overwrite unique to each file>
[version] <new version number also used by sql files database when
data is returned>
[n+1]…
The problem is definitely the binary data stored in the [n] [“data”] key. If I
immediately decrypt the data in the key on the MacOS the data is correct. But
when I decrypt the exact same data on the Windows OS I get a bad decrypt error.
So to be perfectly clear, I create the above array, I iterate through each key
from 1 to n, encrypting and overwriting the information in the [“data”] key. I
then arrayEncode the entire array, then base64encode everythign before
transmitting it over the wire.
I reverse the process on the receiving side. It seems to work if I send
non-binary data in the [“data”] key but if the data is binary, it fails. I do
not think arrayEncode / decode likes to work with binary data.
