Title: HFS returning OK (200) to POST even when upload fails
Post by: dr_st on November 23, 2017, 08:36:41 AM

Hi all,

I am a new user and found HFS when I was looking for a simple, light-weight HTTP server that I could test upload flows from my client.

Generally it worked well for me, and the server is a joy to configure and use. Great job! 8)

I noticed one thing that seemed strange to me. If I try to upload a file (using POST) without a proper permission configured, the file does not get uploaded, and the server reports "upload failed: not allowed". However, it still returns an OK (200) response to the client. Is that normal? If that's expected behavior from the server side, what should the client do to determine that the upload actually failed?

I am new to HTTP, so I wasn't sure whether it's a bug or normal behavior. That's why I opened it in the general forum.

Html form code :

         

Code: [Select]

  <form><!---Removed form submit url-->
            <input type="text" id="keyName" value="testValue">
            <!---Id attribute added to input field to be submitted--->

Javascript code:

Code: [Select]

function myFunction(){
var dataValue = $("#keyName").val();
$.ajax({
            type : 'POST',
            //remove the .php from results.php.php
            url : "http://externalsite.cpm/results.php",
            //Add the request header
            headers : {
                Authorization : 'Bearer ' + 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
            },
            contentType : 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
            //Add form data
            data : {keyName : dataValue},
            success : function(response) {
                console.log(response);
            },
            error : function(xhr, status, error) {
                var err = eval("(" + xhr.responseText + ")");

POST is generic. HFS needs data to be sent as "multipart", in the POST. That's what the browser does.
See if you have such option on your side.
