I modified a mini server with "use std::net::TcpListener; use std::net::TcpStream;" from the Rust Book example (https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch20-03-graceful-shutdown-and-cleanup.html).
This code works from Firefox browser common "form" sending a "input type='file'" with obviously "'enctype='multipart/form-data'":
let mut datax = Vec::new();
let mut el_buffer = [0; 1024];
let mut limita = 0;
loop {
let n = stream.read(&mut el_buffer).unwrap();
if n<1024 {
datax.extend_from_slice(&el_buffer[..n]);
break;
} else {
datax.extend_from_slice(&el_buffer[..n]);
}
if limita >10000 {
break;
}
limita += 1;
}
I tried: read_to_end(); read_exact(); BufReader::new(&stream); let mut el_buffer = [0; 1024]; // 1, 512, 4092, 10240, 102400, 2000 etc.
I tried "n==0... break"
I tried read without loop...
The result is the same:
From Firefox read all the file and works.
From Edge, Chrome, IE, cuts the POST received and the browser loses the server connection.
if n<1024 {
datax.extend_from_slice(&el_buffer[..n]);
break;
} else {
Read::read() returning a number less than the full size does not mean that the end of the input has been reached. It could mean the data is not yet available (e.g. the browser has not yet sent it) or it could be for any whim of the kernel.
You should end your reading loop when read() returns zero. That is the only return value which is specified to mean “end of file”.
