|---|
| This plugin works in conjunction with HTML's FormData object and the corresponding server-side MultipartEntry objects. Together they make it possible for website visitors to upload files to the server. |
cd /srv/rwserve-plugins npm install rwserve-multi-upload### Configuration is Everything Make the software available by declaring it in the `plugins` section of your configuration file. For detailed instructions on how to do this, refer to the plugins documentation on the `Read Write Tools HTTP/2 Server` website. #### TL;DR
server {
restrictions {
content-length-limit 10485760 // 10MB
}
plugins {
rwserve-multi-upload {
location `/srv/rwserve-plugins/node_modules/rwserve-multi-upload/dist/index.js`
config {
maxbytes 2097152 // 2MB
destination-directory `$DOCUMENTS-PATH/public/uploads/`
}
}
router {
`/upload-pics` *methods=POST *plugin=rwserve-multi-upload
}
}
}
The config settings can be adjusted using this guidance.
`content-length-limit` is a positive integer. This is the maximum size of the
request body that the server will handle. Requests larger than this will be
rejected with status code 413. Keeping this low prevents bad actors from
dropping payload bombs on the server.
`maxbytes` is a positive integer. This is the maximum size of any one file being
uploaded. This value should be less than or equal to the `content-length-limit` value.
`destination-directory` is the where the uploaded files will be saved.
#### Cookbook
A full configuration file with typical settings for a server running on
localhost port 7443, is included in this NPM module at `etc/multi-upload-config`.
To use this configuration file, adjust these variables if they don't match your
server setup:
$PLUGIN-PATH='/srv/rwserve-plugins/node_modules/rwserve-multi-upload/dist/index.js' $PRIVATE-KEY='/etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key' $CERTIFICATE='/etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt' $DOCUMENTS-PATH='/srv/rwserve/configuration-docs'### Usage #### Server Start the server using the configuration file just prepared. Use Bash to start the server in the background, like this:
[user@host ~]# rwserve /srv/rwserve-plugins/node_modules/rwserve-multi-upload/etc/multi-upload-config &#### Deployment Once you've tested the plugin and are ready to go live, adjust your production web server's configuration in `/etc/rwserve/rwserve.conf` and restart it using `systemd` . . .
[user@host ~]# systemctl restart rwserve. . . then monitor its request/response activity with `journald`.
[user@host ~]# journalctl -u rwserve -ef### Prerequisites This is a plugin for the **Read Write Tools HTTP/2 Server**, which works on Linux platforms.
