[Ids-devel] Windows 2000 file upload on IDS

[Thomas K. <tk...@us...>]

I figured out the Windows 2000 file upload issue. Since most non-Unix
operating systems (including Windows 2000) have a hard time differentiating
between text and binary files, we need to binmode the file handle before we
write to it.

So, in the admin/index.cgi, go to the uploadFile2 subroutiune (about line
1046)

the actual upload code is

replace_file($uploadDest, sub {
    local *FH=shift;
    my $buffer;
    while (my $bytesread=read($uploadFileName,$buffer,1024)) {
  print FH $buffer;
    }
 }) or bail("couldn't upload file \"$uploadDest\":", $!);



add a line after "   local *FH=shift;"
to say "binmode (FH);"

so, the upload code looks like this:

 replace_file($uploadDest, sub {
    local *FH=shift;
    binmode (FH);
    my $buffer;
    while (my $bytesread=read($uploadFileName,$buffer,1024)) {
  print FH $buffer;
    }
 }) or bail("couldn't upload file \"$uploadDest\":", $!);


And it should work!

From what I've read, the binmode function works fine on Unix, but does
nothing. Can anyone confirm this? If Unix simply ignores it, we can just add
it to the source, and not worry about it anymore.


Thanks!
