i needed to write a .bat script for windows to upload a log file. quick and nasty hack.. on the sending end:<\/p>\n

\r\ncurl -F "file=@%temp%\\someFileName.log;filename=nameToBePresented.log" https:\/\/myserver\/in.php\r\n[code]\r\n\r\nwhere in.php is:\r\n[code]\r\n$fName = "up\/".date("Ymd_His")."_".uniqid();\r\n$cnt = 0;\r\nforeach($_FILES as $k=>$f)\r\n  file_put_contents($fName.'_'.str_replace(['.','\\\\'],'',$f['name']).".".($cnt++).".body",file_get_contents($f['tmp_name']) );\r\necho 'ok';\r\n<\/pre>\n
looks straightforward, worked when i tested; but failed to upload in the production setup.<\/p>\n
on the http server\/PHP i was getting:<\/p>\n
\r\n[Thu Feb 02 12:46:09.430384 2017] [:error] [pid 13273] [client 58.4.5.6:21549] PHP Warning:  file_get_contents(): Filename cannot be empty in \/var\/www\/in.php on line 4\r\n[Thu Feb 02 12:46:09.432869 2017] [core:info] [pid 13273] [client 58.4.5.6:21549] AH00564: Request header field is missing ':' separator: }\r\n[Thu Feb 02 12:46:09.432875 2017] [core:info] [pid 13273] [client 58.4.5.6:21549] AH00567: request failed: error reading the headers\r\n<\/pre>\n
turned out that the log file was growing. curl at the beginning was sending header containing: Content-Length: 1234577<\/i> yet later the file was overgrowing that size.<\/p>\n
instead of uploading the log file i’ve added one line to take a snapshot of it:<\/p>\n
\r\ncopy %temp%\\someFileName.log %temp%\\someFileName.log.snap\r\ncurl -F "file=@%temp%\\someFileName.log.snap;filename=nameToBePresented.log" https:\/\/myserver\/in.php\r\n<\/pre>\n
now it works!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
