fs.writeFile()

[Donald Organ]

I am trying to write a file to the file system and it seems no matter what I do fw.writeFile() returns false

I am using an absolute path and the folder I am trying to write to is owned by the same user that is running httpd-silk.js

Ideas?

I've never seen it fail if it could actually write to an existing directory. I didn't test it after filling up my hard drive or anything like that tho (would cause an error).

Donald,

I have a different issue. I am writing to the file system, but only a very small part of the file data gets written.

There is a line in the SilkJS docs that makes me think I am misunderstanding something.

On the page: http://silkjs.net/http-server/ is says; "For POST data that is a file upload, the value is a hash containing information about the file, and the base64 encoded file data.". I am sending the binary data using POST, but in it's own variable. The above sentence implies it should be done differently? I guess I am 'grabbing at straws' here maybe.

If I do this,

    console.dir(file_data); // This dumps a lot of data.

    var success = fs.writeFile64(file_spec, file_data); // This does create a file, albeit corrupt.

    console.log(success); 

success comes back true, and the file contains sometimes as little as 50 bytes.

Assuming you got this resolved, would you have a code snippet showing how you receive the data file on the SilkJS side? I am probably doing something 'simple' wrong. An example will help me see it.

Thanks!

Eric

why are you passing binary data, why not just upload the file via a form and let it be handled.  It sounds like maybe there is a max on POST size.
