This plugin is highly experimental, can be used on all files:

Parameters :

• port : the port where the upload server will listen (default: none, required).
• folder : a folder (relative to malta execution one) where uploaded files will be saved (default: none, required).
• host : the host address to bind the server (default: 127.0.0.1).
• handler : an optional path to a file that exports a function to be called after each upload.
• ssl : set to true to start an HTTPS server (default: false).
• key : path to the SSL private key file (optional; if ssl is true and both key and cert are omitted, a self-signed certificate is generated on the fly).
• cert : path to the SSL certificate file (optional; same behaviour as key)

Sample usage:

malta app/source/index.html public -plugins=malta-upload[port:3000,folder:"uploads"]

or in the .json file :

"app/source/index.html" : "public -plugins=malta-upload[port:3000,folder:'uploads']"

or in a script :

var Malta = require('malta');
Malta.get().check([
    'app/source/index.html',
    'public',
    '-plugins=malta-upload[port:"3000",folder:"uploads",handler:"./upload-handler.js"]',
    '-options=showPath:false,watchInterval:500,verbose:0'
]).start();

SSL sample usage (with your own certificates):

malta app/source/index.html public -plugins=malta-upload[port:8443,folder:"uploads",ssl:true,key:"./ssl/key.pem",cert:"./ssl/cert.pem"]

SSL sample usage (self-signed certificate generated on the fly):

malta app/source/index.html public -plugins=malta-upload[port:8443,folder:"uploads",ssl:true]

Where upload-handler.js could contain something like:

module.exports = function(self, {path, name, content}) {
    console.log({path, name, content});
    console.log(self); // this is the malta instance
};

try it

cd sample
malta start.json // or startSSL.json

then

• open your browser and visit http://127.0.0.1:3434
  (or https://127.0.0.1:3434 in case u started the SSL version; you will have to accept the certificate first)
• upload a file
• check the sample/up folder content, and the log in the console coming from the sample/handler.js
