File uploading is very iffy #32

Server often fails with timeout to request the file being uploaded. It is unsafe to replicate a post without first ensuring that at least one server node have its attachments safely stored; so the protocol for creating post needs to be modified.

mantycore commented 5 years ago

Post (with attachments) creation protocol:

post is created files are loaded

browser node requests server nodes for attachment storage (broadcast)

req content put perm

server node replies with storage permission

res content put perm

browser node sends attachment

req content put

server node receives attachment server node sends reply confirmation for receiving attachment

res content put

when all attachments are confirmed by at least one server:

browser node broadcasts a poema for storage (without pre request, just a broadcast)

req poema put

More or less done. Todo:

[x] Make replication counts increment on subscription work
[x] Finish attachments on haikus, ensure them working;
[x] Display replication counts below pictures;
[ ] Store and display replication counts on posts;
[ ] For content and posts from other nodes and db, (store and) display these status
[ ] Double-check all contentStorage shenanigans, document them;
