losing image meta data using kendo upload widget

[Kevin]

I am having an issue with image orientation that I have a fix for but I relies on the metadata being in the image. When I view the image prior to upload it has an orientation of 6 but after uploading it, when its in the c# code on the server, it doesnt have this metadata available. 

Is there something that could be going on when the kendo upload widget does its thing that could remove it?

in my MVC controller I am just creating an Image from the HttpPostedFileBase InputStream and pass that to my FixRotation method. No real code doing anything.

Hi Kevin,


Could you please elaborate how exactly was the metadata sent to the server? We recommend using the upload client side event.

I am not doing anything. The process as it exists with default settings is removing image EXIF data. In this case I need the orientation. The info is there before the upload but not after.

Hello,

The Upload most definitely doesn't modify the file data. This is not even possible in older browsers like IE 9 and earlier.
You can double check by inspecting the upload request in Fiddler for example.

Please, check if a proxy or a server module is not stripping the EXIF data.
