How do you accept file uploads in noir

Question

I have a file input setup similar to this

[:p "Upload a book"] (form-to [:post "/upload"] (file-upload :book) (submit-button "Upload")) 

Then my download endpoint is as follows.

 (defpage [:post "/upload"] {:keys [book]} (println book)) 

Book

It seems like just the title bar of the downloaded file, not the file itself. How to get a file?

According to this topic (see Chris Granger's second post):

• http://groups.google.com/group/clj-noir/browse_thread/thread/58e45ad02bb21571

you can use something like:

 (defpage [:post "upload"] {:keys [myFile]} (println myFile) ;; see all the things the file contains (io/copy (io/file (:tempfile myFile)) (io/file "uploads/some-new-name"))) 

Here is the gist of this topic:

with a note (again from Chris) that you need Leiningen 1.6.1.1+ not to get into error.

You can see a similar thing (albeit for Amazon S3) here:

Hope this helps.

I think you agree; I believe that you are publishing incorrectly. Try form-to {:enctype "multipart/form-data"} or from the curl --form book=@ /home/me/Penguins.jpg http://localhost:8080/Upload shell curl --form book=@ /home/me/Penguins.jpg http://localhost:8080/Upload
