Hi, a CGI I'm making needs to receive a POST message containing binary data, but it doesn't contain fields, so I cannot access that data from my program.

I'm using BrookFramework but if you find a solution using fcl-web is ok.

Here's the header captured in google chrome:

POST /index/ HTTP/1.1
Host: 127.0.0.1:8080
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 108527
Origin: http://127.0.0.1:8080

Hello,

In new Brook 3.0 (from trunk), if your request use form-data, you can access the streams via Files property, e.g:

Files.Files[0].Stream;

But, using the "application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text" content type, I think that you need to use BrookHttpClient.

Well, aparently there are no files in the request, because Files array is empty.

Regarding BrookHttpClient, isn't it client for http requests?, I need to parse a request from a client, my program is the server.

Regards,

Oops...

Files.Files[0].Stream;

*Files[0].Stream;*

But, using the "application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text" content type, I think that you need to use BrookHttpClient.

Ie, to download your binary data, eg:
https://github.com/silvioprog/brookframework/blob/master/demos/http/client/project1.lpr .

"Well, aparently there are no files in the request, because Files array is empty.

Unfortunately I did not received your reply on my email, I saw that you responded after accessing the topic link. :/

But the binary will downloaded from other URL or it will available from your own app? In first case, you need download it via client in your server and after display it to client, in second case, seems that you need to use content-disposition. If is second case, I can do easily a small sample of "content-disposition" for you too.

What is the problem ? TRequest.Content will contain the binary data.

Michael.

As far as I remember I just hit "g" on mutt, then answered your email :)

Let me clarify this. My app is a CGI program running on an Apache server, the client is a javascript file running on the same server.

The relevant part of the client javascript is this:

  blob = new Blob([data.buffer], {type: mimetype});
  var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
  xhr.open('POST', 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/cgi-bin/test', false);
  xhr.send(blob);

As you can see, "blob" is an object containing a typed array that I'm trying to send to the server using a POST command.

Regards,

Hehe, you are right, there's the content.

Thank you again Michael.

So you need to send it via form-data. Using the form-data you will receive your buffer in Files property (it points to the "Request.Files" property of FCL-Web).

Silvio, here's the solution. Just create a Post handler, then save TheRequest.Content string as a TFileStream:

procedure TIndex.Post;
var
  lStream: TFileStream;
begin
  lStream := TFileStream.Create('output.odf', fmCreate);
  try
    lStream.Write(TheRequest.Content[1], TheRequest.ContentLength);
  finally
    lStream.Free;
  end;
end;

Oops, sorry for my confusion. Until then I had not understood the problem hehe...

Michael is right, the Content property will get your buffer as stream! :)
