Re: Writing files to database and avoiding the file system

[Jeremy Shaw]

If you dig deeper in the BodyPolicy I believe you will find that you can provide your own fileWriter which gets chunks of data in an iteratee style. Let me know if you need more help. On my phone at the moment so I can't go into too much detail.

Hello,

I've noticed that with Happstack I seem to only have 2 options for handling the request body: 1) Read it all into memory as a ByteString or 2) if it's a file upload, have the file written to a temporary location on the filesystem.

In my case I'd like to write the file out to a distributed database rather than to the local filesystem.  I'd like to avoid the step of writing the file to the filesystem.  But putting the whole request body into memory isn't really an option either.

Is there any possibility of using one of the iteratee type libraries to read the request body in a more efficient way?

Thanks,

Rich

That looks like exactly what I need. Thanks!
