Uploading files with http put

[brucet]

Jean-Paul,

 

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "asynchronous"?

 

PHP does not directly support asynchronous operations so I used the term loosely. 

 

Nextcloud includes a stream package that does callbacks on php streams. This is a link to the icewinds php stream wrapper which is included in the nextcloud code:

 https://github.com/icewind1991/Streams

 

This library supports callbacks to provide updated status in the web UI when performing reads / writes on a php stream. This functionality works with http put / get. I am using this functionality for file downloads from Tahoe-LAFS by using http get. I would like to do the same for file uploads to Tahoe-LAFS by using http put.

I am writing a Tahoe-LAFS plugin for Nextcloud and close to having it completed. The plugin puts Tahoe-LAFS on even footing with other cloud storage systems that have been integrated with Nextcloud such as: Amazon S3 and Swift.

 

The problem I am having is I need to support asynchronous uploading of local files to Tahoe-LAFS. I have not found a way to do this using the “tahoe cp” command. However, if I use an http put to perform the upload then I can support asynchronous uploads in Nextcloud.

 

I am using the “tahoe” command from the plugin so I can use any tahoe command that completes in a relatively short period of time. Is there a simple way for me to create a placeholder tahoe URI that I can use to perform an http put with to perform an upload?

 

Thanks in advance,
