Uploading files

[MBaas]

Has anyone already been successful in finding out how to receive files uploaded with regular <input type="file">-controls?

Got it running with help from Morten and fixes from Brian.

      Get'name of field'

now returns an object with filename and data.

Greetings.

We are running MiServer 2.2 and need a little help on how to upload files from the user's client browser ... into MiServer engine.

I have a standard Form with file upload in HTML... and it SEEMS that the upload is happening ... but ... where do I find the uploaded file name and image?

I see the file name and the blob data in the Req.Data variable. (See attached screen shot)

How do I process this data? Is it ready to be saved as a file.jpg ? or does it need to be translated first?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Woodley,

I don't have my code wirh me atm, but IIRC it should be possible to simply write that data to file. With MS3, I remember there were some issues leading to very few slightly wrong bytes. That has been fixed and works perfectly - but I don't know abt MS2...

Hi Woodley,

Michael is correct, we found a bug in MiServer 3 related to file uploading and corrected it. I've now ported that fix back into MiServer 2 and updated the GitHub repository.

I hope this helps!

Thanks, Brian !

yes.. I downloaded your updated MiServer 2.x from GITHUB and updated my server at APLcloud.com.

The upload now works like a charm !

We look forward to moving to MiServer 3.0 soon...

Cheers,
