POST Request (Upload file)

[francislah]

When POST is received with Content-Type: text/plain the file should be created or updated.

• [x] Add upload file form to website
• [x] Handle the Post method in the server
• [x] Store file in folder File with server permissions

File uploads correctly, still some cases to handle :

• [x] Repeated file uploads randomly hangs (but not crash) every 2 to 5 files
• [ ] Handle the string buffer for bigger files to avoid the exception of std::basic_string (over the limit in size)
• [x] Automatically rename a file I try to upload when the server already has one with the same name
• [x] Remove blank page after upload
• [ ] Clean up code !!! (Local functions)

As of 12/08:

File uploads are fine. File renames itself if a file with the same name already exists. There is no overwriting a file of any sort.

When a file is uploaded (or when the upload button is clicked with no file chosen in index.html), the uploads directory content is listed with every file, and a corresponding delete button.

I need to handle better the upload of larger files. It can sometimes causes an exception throwing (still uncaught for now). Need to handle the length of the string of data that is taken on the upload so it doesn't crash. When fixed, we'll basically be able to upload any reasonable file, regardless of its size.

The goal is when I click on any file, is either to display its content and / or download the file to the computer. Doesn't work yet but functions that do this are in place. Need to attach all of it together.
