Jifty::Web::FileUpload - Describes an HTTP file upload
Currently this module is very much geared towards the use case of the current
request offering a file upload, and inspecting CGI to produce metadata.
Refactorings to eliminate these assumptions are very welcome.
Creates a new file upload object. The possible arguments in the
"PARAMHASH" are:
- filehandle
- The filehandle to read the content from. If this is not an Fh object
produced by CGI, then "content_type" is
mandatory and you probably want to set
"filename" yourself.
- content (optional)
- The upload's content. Will be intuited if possible.
- filename (optional)
- The upload's filename as given by the client (i.e. ¬ on disk). Will
be intuited if possible.
- content_type (optional)
- The content type as reported by the client.
Lazily slurps in the filehandle's content.
Convenience method, since the other bits can be gleaned from the Fh object.
