Jifty::Web::FileUpload(3)

NAME
Jifty::Web::FileUpload - Describes an HTTP file upload

DESCRIPTION
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.

  new PARAMHASH
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. X on disk). Will be intuited if possible.

content_type (optional)
    The content type as reported by the client.

  content
Lazily slurps in the filehandle's content.

  new_from_fh Fh
Convenience method, since the other bits can be gleaned from the Fh object.

  new_from_plack $u
