I was just playing with the file upload features in CI4. I have created two routes
1)$routes->get('/', 'Home::index');
where the webpage will display the form to upload a file.
2) $routes->get('/upload', 'Upload::index');
This route will actually handle the file upload mechanism. As you can see it is a GET route(which i had created by mistake).If I make the file upload request to this route then it works perfectly. Should not the framework throw an error to make a POST request to a GET route?
