Entry Description
Automatic Upload
ekclientneeds The level of response the client requests. An application
may want to receive only the file name, all the data, or
nothing. The values are:
fullxml - full XML data about the upload
filename - just the file name, no XML data
none - no data returned
The default is "filename." This chapter describes how to
generate code for the fullxml value.
ekclientversion The version of the upload module on the client side.
This allows the server side to determine what the client
supports. The version must be 1.0 or higher to support
the upload mechanism. Error check this.
If no version is sent, this field returns the file name only.
Backward compatibility is always assumed, so if the
client version is higher than the server component, the
server component uses the highest version format that it
supports.
extension_id The file extension given as an ID. This can be used to
categorize the file in a database.
The ASP sample processes this value into an ID
number. The client editor will echo this operation.
Most likely, the server side wants to determine the ID.
extensions The list of valid extensions contained in the
configuration XML data. An example value is:
"gif,jpg,png,jpeg,jif"
The receiving client should examine these extensions to
ensure the file being uploaded is acceptable. If the file
extension is not acceptable, set the 'discard' attribute of
the 'FILEINFO' element to true.
See Also: ”discard” on page 470
filename The name of the local file. Normally, this is a full local
path that does not match a file location on the server. An
example is: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\kewl.gif
