CGI_Lib and upload file,

jpd · Post by **jpd** » Thu Mar 09, 2006 9:28 pm

Hi Forum,
I'm test at moment the CGI Lib Version 20060224 from Paul Leischow,
and have a little problem.

I'm use the jana server 2.0 and the upload-file example from helpfile

Code: Select all


result=CGI_FileIn("C:\Temp\") 

CGI_Header() 
If result 
 CGI_Out("File Received")  
 
 Else  
 
 CGI_Out("Failed to receive File")  
 
  
EndIf

with this code is possible to put one file on a folder on the web server, but I'm

rescontered a error (probable in my configuration), if the file to upload bigger as 10K and if the file not a
text file then recieve a error message.

for example with exe files the upload return a error:

Content-type: application/octet-stream Failed to receive File.

on the log file of the server I can see this error:

Thu, 09.03.2006 18:22:08 : Cgi-Program did not send header-termination (\n\n). Cgi-Program: C:\Programme\Jana2\cgi-bin\CGIOrig.exe

the other error rescontred is the size of the file,

normaly this can changed with the optional paramerter:

Optional MaxPost specifies size of file allowed to receive. Default is 102400 bytes.
also:

Code: Select all

result=CGI_FileIn("C:\Temp\",10240000)

but the same error appair.

any idea?

Thanks
JPD

You didn't post your HTML code that sends the file to the CGI.

If you are only able to receive TEXT files then maybe you forgot
enctype="multipart/form-data" in <Form> ??

Also, you can set the max upload size to as high as you want using the CGI_FileIn() command but if your server is not configured to accept that size... it won't work.

I would recommend the very popular servers like Sambar or Apache

Hi Paul,

thanks very much for the rapide answear, SUPER!

here the HTML file...
I think is the same as the helpfile

Code: Select all

<html> 
<head> 
<title>CGI Test</title> 
</head> 

<body> 
<center> 

<font color="#0000aa" face="ARIAL" size="+1"> 
<b> 
<form method="post" action="/cgi-bin/CGIOrig.exe" enctype="multipart/form-data"> 
Select Test File 
<br> 
<input size="100" name="upfile" type="file"> 
<br><br><input value="Send File" type="submit"> 
</form> 
</b> 
</font> 

</center> 
</body> 
</html>

I will ask in the jana forum if exist this configuration possibility,
I' dont have found out this possibility.

Ciao

Hi Paul,
with your reccomend product "Sambar"

I would recommend the very popular servers like Sambar or Apache

works fine without error

,
Thanks!

the people on jana forum say that the server itself not have "affection"
on the dimension of the uploading file.

But I'm really interested to found-out the cause of this error situation.

Existing a methode to set the cgi_lib on debug modus?

Best
