mod_porter parses multipart and your rails app just gets a hash like :
“file”=> {"content_type"=>"application/octet-stream",
“filename”=>"httpd-2.2.10.tar.bz2",
“path”=>"/var/folders/by/bygKB15q2RabYU+BYnf+S++++TI/-Tmp-/apreqigOWmK",
“signature” => ’sodsfsdfjhsdfjhsdfjhsdfjhsdjfh’}
Apache config options :
- Porter On|Off
Enable/disbale mod_porter per vhost
- PorterSharedSecret
Secret key to sign the hash generated by mod_porter.
- PorterPermission 0×0666
Default file permission for temporary files created by mod_porter.
- PorterDir /tmp/porter
Optional directory for temporary files created by mod_porter (needs to be writable by the apache process).
