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
