Support for POST request

[loic-bellinger]

Hello.

All apologies for asking (beginner here), but is that possible for sirv to handle POST requests? Or shall I go with Polka and not use sirv / sirv-cli at all?

My use case is testing a file upload feature on my local test server.

sirv just serves files. there's no upload feature nor will there be. you will need to accept POST requests in your own server and process/save them accordingly. You can still use sirv within your Polka application to continue serving files though

polka()
  .get('/uploads/*', sirv('path/to', { ... }))
  .post('/uploads', async function (req,res) {
    try {
      var file = await parse(req)
    } catch (err) {
      res.statusCode = 400;
      console.error('upload.parse', err);
      return res.end('unable to parse file upload');
    }
    // ...
  })
  // ...

@lukeed Thanks a lot for your kind answer.

That is working well but I'm missing some useful sirv-cli feature (dynamic port allocation, printing colors to the shell). Do you think sirv-cli might be patched to expose the server it uses, so that this server could be passed to polka via the Server option?
