I'm having issues with accessing files i upload w/ golang. I'm really new to the language and have gone through more than a few attempts-- can't find any answers to this online either.
What am i doing wrong? In this code, i never get to the block where it lists the # of files uploaded.
func handler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
fmt.Println("handling req...")
if r.Method =="GET"{
fmt.Println("GET req...")
} else {
//parse the multipart stuff if there
err := r.ParseMultipartForm(15485760)
//
if err == nil{
form:=r.MultipartForm
if form==nil {
fmt.Println("no files...")
} else {
defer form.RemoveAll()
// i never see this actually occur
fmt.Printf("%d files",len(form.File))
}
} else {
http.Error(w,err.Error(),http.StatusInternalServerError)
fmt.Println(err.Error())
}
}
//fmt.Fprintf(w, "Hi there, I love %s!", r.URL.Path[1:])
fmt.Println("leaving...")
}
Update
I was able to get the above code to work. Which is great. The answer below shows how to do it async, which may be a better code sample than mine.
Answer Download the latest golang release.
I experienced the problem before, using the old golang versions, I do not know what happened, but with the latest golang its working. =)
My upload handler code below...
Full code at: http://noypi-linux.blogspot.com/2014/07/golang-web-server-basic-operatons-using.html
// parse request
const _24K = (1 << 10) * 24
if err = req.ParseMultipartForm(_24K); nil != err {
status = http.StatusInternalServerError
return
}
for _, fheaders := range req.MultipartForm.File {
for _, hdr := range fheaders {
// open uploaded
var infile multipart.File
if infile, err = hdr.Open(); nil != err {
status = http.StatusInternalServerError
return
}
// open destination
var outfile *os.File
if outfile, err = os.Create("./uploaded/" + hdr.Filename); nil != err {
status = http.StatusInternalServerError
return
}
// 32K buffer copy
var written int64
if written, err = io.Copy(outfile, infile); nil != err {
status = http.StatusInternalServerError
return
}
res.Write([]byte("uploaded file:" + hdr.Filename + ";length:" + strconv.Itoa(int(written))))
}
}
If you know they key of the file upload you can make it a bit simpler I think (this is not tested):
infile, header, err := r.FormFile("file")
if err != nil {
http.Error(w, "Error parsing uploaded file: "+err.Error(), http.StatusBadRequest)
return
}
// THIS IS VERY INSECURE! DO NOT DO THIS!
outfile, err := os.Create("./uploaded/" + header.Filename)
if err != nil {
http.Error(w, "Error saving file: "+err.Error(), http.StatusBadRequest)
return
}
_, err = io.Copy(outfile, infile)
if err != nil {
http.Error(w, "Error saving file: "+err.Error(), http.StatusBadRequest)
return
}
fmt.Fprintln(w, "Ok")
