My site is under csurf protection at the moment.
I have assigned all my ajax call with csrf token like below
"/data/someAPI?_csrf="+ $("#_csrf").val
and it works just fine with all function I had.
But now I am writing a file upload function and most of the tutorials on the internet are using sumbit form to do so.
So I wrote something like
Node.js
app.post('/upload', function(req, res) {
if (!req.files)
return res.status(400).send('No files were uploaded.');
// The name of the input field (i.e. "sampleFile") is used to retrieve the uploaded file
let sampleFile = req.files.sampleFile;
// Use the mv() method to place the file somewhere on your server
sampleFile.mv('/somewhere/on/your/server/filename.jpg', function(err) {
if (err)
return res.status(500).send(err);
res.send('File uploaded!');
});
});
Solved
HTML
<html>
<body>
<form ref='uploadForm'
id='uploadForm'
action='http://localhost:8000/upload?_csrf=<your_csrf_token>"'
method='post'
encType="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="sampleFile" />
<input type='submit' value='Upload!' />
</form>
</body>
</html>
I directly assigned the token in the form action and it works fine.
