2 file requests 1) On file upload it would be nice to be notified at the beginning, between processing the header and the multipart, and periodically, lets say every 4K (configurable), in addition to the already when processed.
I'd very much like to support this, but haven't had the time to implement it. Marshall Clow has been working on a complete MIME library - it would be very cool if he got that to support incremental parsing. (*cough*). Also FastCGI supports giving a completed response before even the the
request is completely processed. Allowing the request and response to be split in separate threads permits the server to give progress indicator while the file is being uploaded.
You can write a response before the entire request is read at the moment, but you can't interrupt the processing of reading / parsing the post data once you have started it. 2) Frequently, I disallow files from being saved on the server, rather I
would like to process the file while it is being uploaded. Use case would be I may have a CSV parser that reads from a stream and would notify me by callback upon successfully reading a row which I would then process.
Hmm, I might have to rethink the upload routines. Thanks for the use-case. Cheers, Darren On 5/18/2010 8:14 PM, Darren Garvey wrote:
Hi,
I have packaged a version of a CGI / FastCGI library* up to sourceforge and would very much appreciate feedback and critique from interested parties. Feedback from this list has been invaluable in the past. You can download the library from:
http://sf.net/projects/cgi/files
The documentation still needs work, which I am doing as I can find the time. It can be found online at:
and a brief feature list can be found from:
The library interface has reached a relatively stable point after a savage bunch of changes recently and I'm quite pleased with how it is shaping up. A brief list of features of the library are:
* Out of the box support for FastCGI and CGI, tested with Apache 2.2 and mod_fcgid on Windows XP, 7 and linux. * Type-safe access to different request data (eg. get / post / environment / cookies) * Access to request data in STL-like constructs, with some CGI-specific helper functions. * Optional support for user-defined, strongly-typed sessions. * A lightweight utility wrapper for using HTML / XML / etc. templates - dubbed "stencils". * A traits-based design that allows library users to alter the implementation of parts of the library at compile time.
For reference, the code is also in the Boost sandbox at:
https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/SOC/2007/cgi/trunk
Cheers, Darren
