Not sure what I am doing incorrectly here... I keep getting this error when trying to upload a video (multipart) from android to AmazonS3 using knox library on nodejs... I am using the async library as well to wait for the video to finish uploading before i call the callback (cb) the next function Here is my error:

Here is the code:
function setupAndCreateImage ( cb) {
if(req.files && req.files.mediaFile) {
console.log("Received file:\n" + JSON.stringify(req.files));
//add p for pics will do v for vids
videoID = "v" + path.basename(req.files.mediaFile.path);
tmp_path = req.files.mediaFile.path;
//targetPathSmall = './public/img/challenges/' + videoID;
//videoConvert = req.files.mediaFile.name;
var video = req.files.mediaFile;
var s3Headers = {
'Content-Type': video.type,
'Content-Length': video.size,
'x-amz-acl': 'public-read'
};
//console.log('stdout:', stdout, targetPathSmall)
s3.putStream(tmp_path, videoID, s3Headers, function(err, s3response){
//handle, respond
if(err) {
console.log(err);
} else {
s3response.resume();
console.log("saved to S3");
//console.log(s3response);
cb(null, videoID);
}
});
} else {
videoID = "";
cb(null, videoID);
}
},
You're passing a String as the first argument to s3.putStream
where a Stream is expected.
See https://github.com/Automattic/knox/blob/master/lib/client.js#L398
You should be using it like so:
s3.putStream(inputStream, videoID, s3Headers, function(err, s3response) {
You may be able to populate inputStream
by reading the content of req.mediaFile
as a stream, if possible. It's not easy to tell from the code.
Good luck!
