I want to upload binaries with HTTP PUT

Hi,

I am a beginner with regards to phoenix.
I need a replacement for an existing build pipeline which fetches and uploads build artefacts from/to a web server with GET and PUT.

I get GET, but am about halfway with PUT…

I have a route:

put "/upload" UploadController, :put

I use curl as client:

curl -X PUT -v -H "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" --data-binary @binary_file localhost:4000/upload

I noticed that curl is careful and first only sends the length of the binary and a 100 continue,
so I answer with a 100 continue in the controller:

And in the respective controller there is:

def put(conn, params) do
    IO.inspect(params)
    IO.inspect(conn)
    # do some length checking and whatnot
    send_resp(conn, 100, "")
end

curl is happy and continues with a PUT and the data.
Wireshark shows me that all is transmitted, but I think I should get an error message about a missing
callback or come again into the put method with different parameters, but nothing.

Any pointers, please?

update, this is the output of curl:

I believe you’re overthinking this - the underlying cowboy machinery already handles the flow with Expect: 100-continue:

Thank you for the link to cowboy!
Weill, in my current configuration cowboy does not send the 100-continue, I have to do it.
But I am obviously doing something wrong.

In the meantime I found Plug.Upload and Plug.Parsers, which look promising.
The documentation is a bit sparse for a newbie, so I would be grateful for a working example.
Have not found one so far…
