Upload test data management and storage #40

Closed natzlob closed 3 years ago

natzlob commented 3 years ago

Hi. How is the uploaded data for the Upload test managed? Where is it stored? Does LibreSpeed create a temp file for this on the device, which it then deletes, or the device on which the test is running will periodically need to clean this out?

The uploaded data is randomly generated on each run, stored in memory, and discarded on exit. There's no temp file on disk, so you don't have to do cleanups.
