Run httpserver and upload files by post. After uploading, the uploaded files will be automatically deleted by httpserver.
After changing the code like this:
MHD_Result webserver::complete_request(MHD_Connection* connection, struct details::modded_request* mr, const char* version, const char* method) { mr->ws = this; mr->dhr->set_path(mr->standardized_url->c_str()); mr->dhr->set_method(method); mr->dhr->set_version(version); /*I changed!*/ _http::file_info& file = mr->dhr->get_or_create_file_info(mr->upload_key,mr->upload_filename); std::string real_name =mr->ws->file_upload_dir + "/" + mr->upload_filename; rename(file.get_file_system_file_name().data(),real_name.data());_ /*end*/ return finalize_answer(connection, mr, method); }
The file can be saved under its real name.
When the "rename()" function is commented out, no files can be saved.
step of reproduce:
1 run httpserver /home/data
2 upload "test.txt" by postman
3 can't find any file uploaded

thanks!!!!!

Run httpserver and upload files by post. After uploading, the uploaded files will be automatically deleted by httpserver.

There was a lengthy discussion about this in #264 and the actual behavior you probably experienced, was implemented with #266.

Short term solution: if you need the file to be persistent, copy it in your request handler to some place of your choice.

Long term solution: propose something to properly solve #264.
