Hi,

I'm trying to use evaluate vibe.d for streaming data upload of a large file from a http client either directly to memory and/or to filesystem on vibe.d server.

Is there any example that I can start with?

I asked this on Github. Not sure if anyone saw it.

Thanks for your help.

Arun

Sorry for the late reply, I missed the GH ticket. So currently uploads will always be stored in a temporary file. A new API needs to be added to enable custom streams as targets.

However, the built-in form parser can be disabled by skipping the HTTPServerOption.parseForm flag in older versions, or by simply not accessing the HTTPServerRequest.form or .files fields on the latest versions. Then you could use a modified version of the parseMutiPartForm and parseMultipartFormPart functions to store the file body somewhere else (until there is an official solution implemented).
