Hi..

I want upload file to nirvanix using http post, but i can figure it out?

Anybody can help me, i'm very newly on this

 

Thank's 

We have a ruby gem available to help simplify calling our system.  You can get it by typing "gem i nvx-sds" or you can download and install it from: http://nvx-sds.rubyforge.org/.  On that page you will find the documentation for doing an http upload in the second section and the rubydoc for the whole gem sdk.

Best of luck,

can someone post some starter code or an example to upload a file with http post from the browser?  that would be extremely appreciated.  thanks.

I will try to get a Rails example together to show you a simple upload and link creation.

This code i used to upload video on my ROR app:

<h5>Upload File(s) In Folder <%= @folder_name%><h5>

<form ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" action="http://<%= @node%>/Upload.ashx" method="post">
  <p><input type="hidden" name="uploadToken" value = <%= @upload_token %>></p>
  <p><input type="hidden" name="forwardingUrl" value = <%= request.env['HTTP_REFERER'] %>></p>
  <p><input type="hidden" name="destFolderPath" value = <%= @folder_name %>></p>
  <p>File 1: <input type="file" name="uploadFile1"/></p>
  <p>File 2: <input type="file" name="uploadFile2"/></p>
  <p><input type="submit" value="Send"/></p>
</form>
<%=link_to 'Folder [create or select]', new_folder_upload_file_to_nirvanix_path%>

maybe this can help you.

 regards

can you elaborate on the steps before the upload form is created - how the upload token is generated for example.

as a sidenote, my app has multiple users and each of them will have their storage and bandwidth limited to fixed amounts - would they all be using the same upload token?

thanks - i just started using nirvanix and appreciate your patience.  we're hoping to migrate from S3 and this looks promising so far.

Each user must have their own token since this is how you identify what account you will upload into.  The steps before this would be creating a session and getting a storage node.  You can take a look at the Ruby SDK in the SoapUpload.UploadFile method for that code.
