Can't upload files to lighttp server

warped · 2011-11-27 12:39:02

Hi *
I'm starting to have grey hairs abut this...
My sys is Archlinux (64bit), lighttpd 1.4.29-2, curl 7.22.
I'm trying to setup hhtp server with capability of upload files.
After basic setup I use following command to test functionality:

curl -T "test_file" http://192.168.1.254/test/

curl's output is following:

[root@mythtv ~]# curl -T "test_file" http://192.168.1.254/test/

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>404 - Not Found</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>404 - Not Found</h1>
</body>
</html>

Dir "test" exists & has 777.
All dirs upper to "test" also have 777.

lighttpd access log shows following:

192.168.1.254 192.168.1.254 - [24/Nov/2011:11:57:14 +0100] "PUT /test/test_file HTTP/1.1" 404 345 "-" "curl/7.22.0 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.22.0 OpenSSL/1.0.0e zlib/1.2.5 libssh2/1.3.0"

Can somebody hint me where issue might be ?

Thx n advance !

put.php

<?php
$putdata = fopen("php://input", "r");
$fp = fopen("test_file", "w");
while ($data = fread($putdata, 1024))
  fwrite($fp, $data);
fclose($fp);
fclose($putdata);
?>

curl -T "test_file" http://192.168.1.254/test/put.php

you cannot just put files to any writeable directory on the host lol

@milomir,

Thx for replay.

While Your proposal is nice solution - this little now what I want to achieve.

In my application curl usage is automated (curl is called by user script).
My script has following entry:

/usr/local/bin/curl  -s -f -T "<file>" "<server>/<path>/<file>"

Strange enough that I have setup which worked OK sometime ago.
Since that time I do few system upgrades - and recently I discover that posting files via curl isn't working.

Last days I was trying many combination including clean install of 64bit arch in VM and try to play with default settings.
No matter what I'm doing - all the time I'm getting 404.

I still think I miss something in configuration as i don't believe vanilla Arch/Lighttpd/Curl can't be used as http upload service with standard curt usage (like way it is used in my script).

So maybe my original Q should be following: why I can't upload files with standard curl/wget usage ?

as i said, i don't think you can just "PUT" (as in PUT method) files in a writeable directory, if that was possible then anyone could upload files, and do whatever they want..

if you don't want to use a script to handle the upload for you, then use webdav, it works with your method, you just PUT a file in a webdav directory..

@milomir,

Thx for hint with webdav.
This is exactly why I'm looking for. Now works as expected.
Once again - thx for help !
