[Dancer-users] http put to upload large file

[halayudha]

i use the following method to POST large file. i think the
"multipart/form-data" type, make it possible to transfer the large file.
maybe because of the large file is transferred in CHUNKED.

* <form method="POST" enctype='multipart/form-data' action="upload.cgi">
      <input type=file name=upload>
      <input type=submit name=press value="OK">
    </form>*

i scripted the above mentioned form using CURL.

*curl --form upload=@localfilename --form press=OK [URL]*

I even try to  three concurrent clients to upload large files  ( 3 x
600MB). No memory error.


post '/upload_file' => sub{
*my $allupload = request->upload('filename');
                my $FILENAME = $allupload->filename;
                debug "FILENAME:".$FILENAME;
                my $CONTAINERPATH = params->{'containerPath'};
                debug "CONTAINER: ". $CONTAINERPATH;
                my $UPLOAD_DIR = setting("REPOSITORY").$CONTAINERPATH.$FILENAME;
                #CONTAINERPATH FORMAT : /Container1/
                debug "UPLOAD_DIR: ". $UPLOAD_DIR;
                $allupload->copy_to($UPLOAD_DIR);*
