1. Get images or binary files from web form

Hello all!
I am trying to do an web form where the people send me some text fields and 2 or 3 photos.
How can a cgi-bin to process this? I can get successly text files, but binary files don't work. (XAMPP on Windows 7 machine).
Any hint?
This is my first experiment:
<html><head></head><body> <form method="post" action="/cgi-bin/prueba.cgi" enctype="multipart/form-data"> Your text: <input name="primero" /> <br> Your file: <input type="file" name="imagen" accept="image/png, .jpeg, .jpg, image/gif"> <br> <input type="submit" /> </form> </body></html>
This is the prueba.cgi, based on cgitest file I have take and modified from examples on the archive:
#!eui -- test program for euphoria cgi -- comment/uncomment the following to test the EUINC variable with batch include std/io.e include std/pretty.e sequence cmd -- if val is a string, return it, otherwise "Undefined" function test_val(object val) if atom(val) then return "Undefined" elsif object(val) then for i = 1 to length(val) do if not atom(val[i]) then return "Invalid string sequence" end if end for return val else return "Invalid type for string" end if return "foozle" -- never reached end function procedure env_dump(sequence val) printf(1, "%s: %s\n", {val, test_val(getenv(val))} ) end procedure puts(1, "Content-Type: text/plain\n\n") puts(1, "Hello!\n\n") puts(1, "COMMAND LINE\n============\n\n") cmd = command_line() for i = 1 to length(cmd) do printf(1, "%d: %s\n", {i, cmd[i]} ) end for puts(1, "\n\nREMOTE INFO\n===========\n") env_dump("REMOTE_IDENT") env_dump("REMOTE_USER") env_dump("REMOTE_HOST") env_dump("REMOTE_ADDR") puts(1, "\n\nSERVER INFO\n===========\n") env_dump("SERVER_SOFTWARE") env_dump("SERVER_NAME") env_dump("GATEWAY_INTERFACE") env_dump("SERVER_PROTOCOL") env_dump("SERVER_PORT") env_dump("REQUEST_METHOD") env_dump("PATH_INFO") env_dump("PATH_TRANSLATED") env_dump("SCRIPT_NAME") env_dump("QUERY_STRING") env_dump("AUTH_TYPE") env_dump("CONTENT_TYPE") env_dump("CONTENT_LENGTH") puts(1, "\n\nBROWSER INFO\n============\n") env_dump("HTTP_ACCEPT") env_dump("HTTP_USER_AGENT") puts(1, "\n\nSTANDAR INPUT\n=============\n") sequence whole_file whole_file = {} sequence chunk while 1 do chunk = get_bytes(0, 1024) -- read 100 bytes at a time whole_file &= chunk -- chunk might be empty, that's ok if length(chunk) < 1024 then exit end if end while print(1, whole_file) printf(1, "\n\nEl archivo recibido tiene %d bytes\n\n", {length(whole_file)}) -- should match DIR size of "temp" puts(1, whole_file)

I have a question for the people involved on the interpreter design.
To get files in the POST method. The file is received trough the standar input.
Can the interpreter to manage if the standar input has "binary" info. Like 00 bytes? Or is the information filtered by the interpreter prior to arrive to my app?

After more testing, on linux hosting appear to work OK.
Appear to be a bug on the windows. Not sure if from Windows itself, or our interpreter, or the C libraries used to compile it ¿¿Who knows??
But PHP on windows without problems to get binaries, so is possible to workaround.
I upload the same image at my windows localhost and at linux remote hosting. Noted that the standar input stream breaks when Windows received a character 001A (Ctrl-Z) So the windows interpreter take it as the end of the stream.

On Euphoria 3.1 for windows works!
But the Ctrl-Z character are replace with -1, but the stream continues. So you can simply search for -1 and replace with 26 on the sequence.
Anyway, this code is painfully slow.
Really someone use euphoria for cgi-bin? How use POST method?

Wouldn't allow_break(0) do the job (in std/console.e)?

Maybe also:
sequence nBytes = getenv("CONTENT_LENGTH") sequence query = get_bytes(0, to_number(nBytes))

Thanks for your reply.
I have just tested. But the output is the same. No matter the size of the archive, is trunked when received the EOF character.

Sorry, I was too quick. When displaying the real length of the received file the error appears:
nBytes = getenv("CONTENT_LENGTH") query = get_bytes(0, to_number(nBytes)) printf(1, "%s: %d\n", {"%d bytes received", length(query)} )
%d bytes received: 482 AUTH_TYPE: Undefined CONTENT_TYPE: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary8MhqlWPqRLSpCl9f CONTENT_LENGTH: 1159310
allow_break(0) doesn't change anything to the result.

getc is not affected by the problem so here is the work-around:
nBytes = getenv("CONTENT_LENGTH") query = {} for n = 1 to to_integer(nBytes) do integer c = getc(0) query = append(query, c) end for -- query = get_bytes(0, to_number(nBytes)) printf(1, "%d bytes received\n", {length(query)} )

Here is your code reviewed. It writes the received file in place. Just add a header FILE_NAME in the post request. It will bee seen by the CGI script as HTTP_FILE_NAME.

What version are you using?
I tested your last code, and I have the same problem.
I am using: Euphoria Interpreter v4.1.0 development 64-bit Windows, Using System Memory Revision Date: 2015-02-02 14:18:53, Id: 6300:57179171dbed

I have put Lighttpd and the project folder on my personal site:
- http://jean-marc.duro.pagesperso-orange.fr/transfer.zip
- http://jean-marc.duro.pagesperso-orange.fr/lighttpd.zip
Unarchive lighttpd.zip anywhere and don't change it.
Unarchive transfer.zip anywhere. Change directory to transfer\server. You will have to update:
- lighttpd.bat to tell it where to find lighttpd. Default command is "C:\My Program Files\lighttpd\lighttpd.exe" -D
- conf/lighttpd.conf, lines 178 and 180, to tell lighttpd where to find openeuphoria. Defaults are:
- ".ex" => "C:/My Program Files/euphoria4.1/bin/eui",
- ".il" => "C:/My Program Files/euphoria4.1/bin/eub",
The way it is done, you can have one lighttpd configuration per project.

My page don't save any file, is just a test!
But you can go down, after the binary dump, copy the sequence and paste on Eu code to save the file.
I had not tried. I'll do it and inform you.

I did it by hand and worked well.
- Upload jpg file to the web.
- Wait a lot, the program is slow because use getc, I'll modify later.
- Go down, after the binary dump, appear twice the sequence dump.
- Copy the sequence.
- Search for 13,10,13,10 After The second time appears is the first byte of your file.
- Search for 13,10,45,45 near the end. This is the last separator, your file ends just before that.
include std/io.e sequence filedata={255,216,255,224,0,16,74,70,73,70,0,1,1,0,0,1,0,1,0,0,255, ... ,2,34,32,63,255,217} print (1,length(filedata)) write_file("file2.jpg", filedata)

This is the way I do:
std_input = get_bytes(0, to_integer(content_size)) sequence boundary = {} for n = 1 to length(std_input) do if (std_input[n] = '\n') and (std_input[n+1] = '\n') then sequence s = std_input[1..n-1] boundary = split(s, '\n') std_input = remove(std_input, 1, n+1) exit end if end for write_file(fname, std_input)
Within the boundary part you can extract the filename.

Unfortunately, there is no solution for Windows when the file contains ESC chars.

Thanks for share. I'll use that.
By now I'll be forced to use PHP
I hope this problem may become solved. I put a ticket.
I am not sure if the problem is in the interpreter or in the standar library.

It looks like STDIN is allways in text mode and cannot be put in binary mode. In OE 4 Windows, STDIN seems to be closely tied to the keyboard.
I tried to force binary mode with a wrapper on _setmode (msvcrt.dll), but this cannot work with CGI because of browser restrictions. Maybe this could work witn a self made server.

I wonder if it fails the same way translated?

If you mean by using James Cook's translated eui, the answer is yes. STDIN is still in text mode.

Tried with EU 3.11. CTRL-Z (and not ESC as written before) is still replaced by -1 but following chars remain as is: it's better but still wrong. Some chars as #0D are even left out.
So prefer Linux if you need to upload files via CGI.

Using _setmode() seems to work for me, running xampp-portable-windows-x64-7.4.29-0-VC15 on Windows 10 64-bit with Euphoria 4.1 64-bit. Here's the code I used to test. (Including an override for getenv() that returns a default value and converts strings to atoms.)
#!"C:\Euphoria\bin\eui.exe" include std/io.e include std/convert.e include std/dll.e without warning += { override } with batch constant msvcrt = open_dll( "msvcrt.dll" ) constant _setmode = define_c_func( msvcrt, "_setmode", {C_INT,C_INT}, C_INT ) constant O_BINARY = 0x008000 function set_mode( integer fn, integer mode ) return c_func( _setmode, {fn,mode} ) end function override function getenv( sequence name, object default="" ) object value = eu:getenv( name ) if equal( value, -1 ) then return default end if if atom( default ) then value = to_number( value ) end if return value end function printf( STDOUT, "Content-type: text/html\n\n" ) printf( STDOUT, "<html><head></head><body>\n" ) printf( STDOUT, "<form method=\"post\" action=\"/cgi-bin/upload.esp\" enctype=\"multipart/form-data\">\n" ) printf( STDOUT, "Your text: <input name=\"text\" /><br>\n" ) printf( STDOUT, "Your file: <input type=\"file\" name=\"file\" accept=\"image/png, .jpeg, .jpg, image/gif\"><br>\n" ) printf( STDOUT, "<input type=\"submit\" /></form>\n" ) sequence request_method = getenv( "REQUEST_METHOD" ) if equal( request_method, "POST" ) then sequence content_type = getenv( "CONTENT_TYPE" ) integer content_length = getenv( "CONTENT_LENGTH", 0 ) printf( STDOUT, "<pre><code>\n" ) printf( STDOUT, "CONTENT_TYPE = \"%s\"\n", {content_type} ) printf( STDOUT, "CONTENT_LENGTH = %d\n", {content_length} ) printf( STDOUT, "REQUEST_METHOD = \"%s\"\n", {request_method} ) printf( STDOUT, "</code></pre>\n" ) set_mode( STDIN, O_BINARY ) sequence bytes = get_bytes( STDIN, content_length ) printf( STDOUT, "<p>Received %d bytes!</p>\n", {length(bytes)} ) end if printf( 1, "</body></html>\n" )
I still need to include multipart form handling in Euphoria MVC, but if I recall, last time I looked at it I was stuck on this problem and I believe this corrects it. I will also look at what it takes to do this in the back end.

Thanks Greg,
I have not been able to get it work. However, following code works on Linux:
with batch include std/io.e include std/pretty.e include std/get.e include std/convert.e include std/sequence.e -- split include std/text.e -- dequote -- if val is a string, return it, otherwise "Undefined" function test_val(object val) if atom(val) then return "Undefined" elsif object(val) then for i = 1 to length(val) do if not atom(val[i]) then return "Invalid string sequence" end if end for return val else return "Invalid type for string" end if return "foozle" -- never reached end function puts(1, "Content-Type: text/plain\n\n") sequence fname = "" sequence content_size = test_val(getenv("CONTENT_LENGTH")) sequence std_input = get_bytes(0, to_integer(content_size)) sequence boundary = {} for n = 1 to length(std_input) do if equal(std_input[n..n+3], "\r\n\r\n") then sequence s = std_input[1..n-1] boundary = split(s, "\r\n") std_input = remove(std_input, 1, n+3) s = split(boundary[2], "filename=") fname = dequote(s[2]) exit end if end for integer p = match("\r\n" & boundary[1], std_input) write_file("/tmp/" & fname, std_input[1..p-1]) printf(1, "Received %s bytes\n", {content_size}) printf(1, "Written %s (%d bytes)", {fname, length(std_input[1..p-1])})
POST response is:

Just this week I come back with this
Your code works well to me (Windows 7) Just needed to add platform(), so don't try to run windows specific code on linux machines.
I am also learning about how to parse form response.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Disposition
Would be nice to have on standar lib a clever function may scan the binary input, from any web form, separate chunks using boundary, read the Content-Disposition on each section to define how to scan it. Usual form inputs are simply plain text, and files are binary blobs. Then return one simple sequence, something like.
{ {FORMTEXT, "FormName", "Bill Gates"}, {FORMTEXT, "FormCompany", "Microsoft"} {FORMFILE, "FormPhoto", {"myphoto.jpg", "Long Binary sequence here......"} } }

You should be using ifdef instead of platform(). Here's an updated example that uses ifdef to only provide set_mode() on Windows.
#!"C:\Euphoria\bin\eui.exe" include std/io.e include std/convert.e include std/dll.e without warning += { override } with batch ifdef WINDOWS then constant msvcrt = open_dll( "msvcrt.dll" ) constant _setmode = define_c_func( msvcrt, "_setmode", {C_INT,C_INT}, C_INT ) constant O_BINARY = 0x008000 function set_mode( integer fn, integer mode ) return c_func( _setmode, {fn,mode} ) end function end ifdef override function getenv( sequence name, object default="" ) object value = eu:getenv( name ) if equal( value, -1 ) then return default end if if atom( default ) then value = to_number( value ) end if return value end function printf( STDOUT, "Content-type: text/html\n\n" ) printf( STDOUT, "<html><head></head><body>\n" ) printf( STDOUT, "<form method=\"post\" action=\"/cgi-bin/upload.esp\" enctype=\"multipart/form-data\">\n" ) printf( STDOUT, "Your text: <input name=\"text\" /><br>\n" ) printf( STDOUT, "Your file: <input type=\"file\" name=\"file\" accept=\"image/png, .jpeg, .jpg, image/gif\"><br>\n" ) printf( STDOUT, "<input type=\"submit\" /></form>\n" ) sequence request_method = getenv( "REQUEST_METHOD" ) if equal( request_method, "POST" ) then sequence content_type = getenv( "CONTENT_TYPE" ) integer content_length = getenv( "CONTENT_LENGTH", 0 ) printf( STDOUT, "<pre><code>\n" ) printf( STDOUT, "CONTENT_TYPE = \"%s\"\n", {content_type} ) printf( STDOUT, "CONTENT_LENGTH = %d\n", {content_length} ) printf( STDOUT, "REQUEST_METHOD = \"%s\"\n", {request_method} ) printf( STDOUT, "</code></pre>\n" ) ifdef WINDOWS then set_mode( STDIN, O_BINARY ) end ifdef sequence bytes = get_bytes( STDIN, content_length ) printf( STDOUT, "<p>Received %d bytes!</p>\n", {length(bytes)} ) end if printf( 1, "</body></html>\n" )

I do plan to add this to Euphoria MVC, although in time I may end up ingesting that entire project into Euphoria standard library.

I want to have a very simple library for CGI bin. Please check this and guide me how to follow. May be later you can include some from this on your MVC
Note, the 3 example forms point to the same CGI script.
