upload failed, empty response

Error message

upload failed, empty response

What it means

Thrown by ILanZou's upload completion path after polling POST /7n/results: the API answered but resp.List is empty, so there is no upload-status record to inspect. The token-based poll found no matching upload result for the token submitted.

Solutions

1. Retry the whole upload from the start — an empty result list is not recoverable by further polling.
2. Verify the token and tokenTime encoding match what the upload step returned (exact format string, URL-encoding of the token).
3. If persistent, capture the raw /7n/results response body — a login/API-contract change may be returning an error envelope that decodes to an empty list.
4. Check the driver version for fixes to the results-polling contract.

obj, err := d.Put(ctx, dstDir, stream, up)
if err != nil && strings.Contains(err.Error(), "upload failed, empty response") {
    stream.Reset() // if the stream supports re-reading
    obj, err = d.Put(ctx, dstDir, stream, up)
}
if err != nil { return err }

When it happens

Trigger: Polling too early or after the server expired the result record; the token from the upload phase mismatched (encoding issue in the tokenList param); upload actually failed server-side and the result entry was never created.

Common situations: The 1-second poll loop iterating many times until the record expires; time skew in tokenTime (formatted in MST) causing token rejection; upstream API change dropping the results endpoint contract.
