curl-users
Uploading Files
Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2005 18:34:55 -0700
I'm a new user to curl, but I have it successfully working on a couple of
pages.
However, I have a project where I need to upload files to a remote server.
Here's the scenario:
What I am trying to do is upload files from a multipart form to server B,
but have it appear that the all the uploading is taking place on server A.
So server A would have a curl function setup at
http://www.serverA.com/curl_upload.php
Which displays the real_upload.php page on server B
http://www.serverB.com/real_upload.php
So that when the user starts their upload to server B it appears that they
are on server A still. However, the data is then uploaded to server B only
and not temporarily to server A.
Man, I'm confusing myself. The issue is server B will only be accessible by
ip to prevent hot linking to the files that I will be uploading to it. Thus
the multipart form must appear to be coming from server A's ip in order for
server B to allow the upload.
Is this even possible or am I barking up the wrong tree. I noticed curl has
upload options, but I will be uploading files as large as 200 MB and also
quite frankly the docs on using curl to upload made absolutely no sense to
me being a novice. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
