EWF/examples/form/README.md

This example demonstrates the use of the wsf_html library for web form handling.

To simplify the code, it is also using the WSF_RESPONSE.send (WSF_RESPONSE_MESSAGE), thus no need to write the expected http header here.

The current code is a web interface form, returning html page as response.

notes:

• It is not using the WSF_ROUTER component to keep the example as simple as possible.
• It is also possible to use the WSF_REQUEST.form_parameter (...) directly, but WSF_FORM provides advanced processing.
• For a CRUD REST API, you can also use WSF_FORM to analyze the incoming POST values, however the html generation may be too verbose for a simple REST api.

warning: depending on your system and connector, you may need to use WSF_REQUEST.set_uploaded_file_path (...) to tell the server where to store the temporary uploaded files. (this should be a directory with write permission for the server). For that - inherit from WSF_REQUEST_EXPORTER - in execute add at the beginning the call request.set_uploaded_file_path (path-to-wanted-directory)
