This example demonstrates a basic Sinatra application that can process HTTP multipart file uploads along with a client that can upload content to the exposed endpoint.
The goal of this example is to demonstrate how you might test a file upload to an external service where you don't have much insight into what the server received. In this case, we receive only a session ID after a successful upload and no indication of what files were received. In situations such as these, we may be able to inspect the body of the request to determine what was sent. See the uploader spec for how this is done.
Install dependencies and run the server:
bundle && ruby src/server.rb
You can use cURL to test uploading a file:
echo content > upload.dat && curl -s -F upload.dat=@upload.dat http://localhost:4567/upload
If successful, you can see the file in the uploads directory under the session
ID returned in the response:
{ "session_id": "88695b83-c2d4-4150-bf38-df6728431936" }You can run tests with RSpec:
bundle exec rspec
