Hi, This question is about the Commons FileUpload package. I hope I am posting to the right users list.
I am trying to understand the source code, and understand the logic through which the data is extracted. >From my understanding: when we use the file input tag to upload a file to the server using the POST method, then the data transferred looks like this: -----------------------------7d433743032eContent-Disposition: form-data; name="file1"; filename="C:\abc.txt"Content-Type: text/plainXYZ-----------------------------7d433743032e-- where the content in my file is XYZ. We can write a code that extracts the filename by parsing the inputstream. Now my question is that how can we extract the content XYZ as the Content-Type could be anything: text/plain, or text/html, or application/octet-stream or something else? We know that the content ends with the boundary (-----------------------------7d433743032e-- in this case in case of single file uplaod) so we know upto where the content will be, but how do we know the exact starting index of the content as the content type could vary. Also, the content length that I may extract, will give me size including that of the boundary and associated information also, but all I want is of only of the file uplaoded by the client. How did the Commons FileUpload team get across these problem? The source code, although very well written, looks a bit confusing to me. Thanks and Regards, Rommel Sharma. ********************************************************* Disclaimer: This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and is protected by law.
