File upload example

[mm765]

The example http-test2 seems to be not working here. it can't even find the require'd 'fs'.
I believe 'fs' has been renamed to File is that correct ?
If so, File has a slightly different interface, so the example still won't work.

But my main question actually is:
there is a comment in there stating "tested with binary and text uploads." and i wanted to know if that really was the case or if this was an example copied from somewhere else and never converted to decaf ?

Thanks in advance,
Matthias

Yes, I tested it with binary and text uploads. I was able to store images in both MySQL and MongoDB. I think there is a fs module that's very low level. In the modules/ directories?

There is a fs.js as builtin but it has only 4 methods: isFile, isDir, realpath and readFile.
The writeFile method in the File module doesnt take a filename as a first parameter but only the content, append flag and an encoding).
i searched for a few hours now and i'm at my wits end. The only thing i can think of is that you had another fs.js somewhere which got included because require.js has some predefined paths:
/**
* This is an array of file system paths that are searched for modules when require() is called. These may be relative to the current directory where decaf is launched, or absolute paths.
* @Property
*
* @type {Array}
*/
require.paths = [
'bower_components',
'bower_components/decaf/modules',
'node_modules',
'modules',
'/usr/local/decaf',
'/usr/local/decaf/modules',
'./'
];

Do you think it might be possible that there was another fs.js in one of those paths on your system and you accidentally used that one ?

There was a fs module at one point. I probably ditched it for the File module. I must have not fixed the test program.

I found the problem. The post data is read into a "latin1" encoded string but the writefile was done without any specific encoding, so it used the system encoding which in my case is UTF-8.
