WebCommon.setKayaUploadDir(3kaya)
NAME
WebCommon::setKayaUploadDir - Set a temporary directory for Kaya file
uploads.
SYNOPSIS
Void setKayaUploadDir( String newdir )
ARGUMENTS
newdir The temporary directory.
DESCRIPTION
User file uploads are placed in a temporary directory. The default
directory is the current directory for the CGI program or webapp, which
is strongly discouraged for production use. There are two ways to set
the new temporary directory, which should ideally be an otherwise empty
directory outside the public website, only readable and writeable by
the user the program runs as.
Firstly, calling this function from within the CGI or webapp's webconfig function will set the directory. (Calls from any other location
have no effect, because the uploaded files have already been saved to
the temporary location by then!)
- Secondly, if this function has not been used, the HTTP_KAYA_UPLOAD_DIR
environment variable (consult your webserver documentation for setting
environment variables), will be read and used. This feature should not
be used by application developers, who should use this function and
provide an installer-configurable way to set the directory - it is
intended to provide a means for Kaya application users to deal with
applications which do not use this function.
- webapp example;
- import Webapp;
import HTMLDocument; - Void webconfig() {
- allowFileUploads();
setKayaUploadDir("/users/kaya/tmp"); - }
- HTMLDocument webmain() {
- // program goes here!
- }
Note that Kaya (from 0.2.4 onwards) will not accept file uploads at all unless WebCommon.allowFileUploads (3kaya) is called first, so you don't need to use this function in applications that do not require file uploads unless your Kaya version is 0.2.2 or 0.2.3
