I completely forgot about this old question but now that I see it has quite some views, here is the solution I found:
var port = 1357;
var http = require('http'),
path = require('path'),
mime = require('mime'),
fs = require('fs'),
GUID = require('GUID'),
formidable = require('formidable'),
util = require('util');
var app = http.createServer(function (req, res) {
if (req.method === 'POST') {
if (req.url === '/upload') {
req.on('error', function (e) {
console.log('Problem with request: ' + e.message);
});
var fileDirectory = __dirname + '/db/',
form = new formidable.IncomingForm();
form.keepExtensions = true;
form.uploadDir =fileDirectory;
form.parse(req, function (err, fields, files) {
if (err) throw (err);
var pic = JSON.stringify(util.inspect(files)),
upIndx = pic.indexOf('db'),
path = pic.slice(upIndx + 6, upIndx + 42);
res.writeHead(200, {
'Content-Type': 'text/html'
});
fs.readFile('views/index.html', function (err, page) {
res.writeHead(200, {
'Content-Type': 'text/html'
});
res.write(page);
res.write('<div>Download Link: </div><div>' + fileDirectory + path + '</div>');
res.end();
});
});
}
} else {
//not important for question, handle other request
}
});
app.listen(port);
console.log('Server running on port: ' + port)
