Feature Request: Upload via HTTP Post

[thatSFguy]

First off, thank you very much for putting this wonderful piece of software together. Truly impressive how much punch you packed into the small ESP-Cam.

My request is to have a toggle on the FTP section, so a user could switch to HTTPS and have the file posted to a web server instead. This way a web-app could be developed to view multiple ESP-Cam recordings in one place, on the web, without having to run a FTP server on the local network.

a sample upload page could be:

<?php
session_start();
$message = ''; 
if (isset($_POST['uploadBtn']) && $_POST['uploadBtn'] == 'Upload')
{
  if (isset($_FILES['uploadedFile']) && $_FILES['uploadedFile']['error'] === UPLOAD_ERR_OK)
  {
    // get details of the uploaded file
    $fileTmpPath = $_FILES['uploadedFile']['tmp_name'];
    $fileName = $_FILES['uploadedFile']['name'];
    $fileSize = $_FILES['uploadedFile']['size'];
    $fileType = $_FILES['uploadedFile']['type'];
    $fileNameCmps = explode(".", $fileName);
    $fileExtension = strtolower(end($fileNameCmps));

    // sanitize file-name
    $newFileName = md5(time() . $fileName) . '.' . $fileExtension;

    // check if file has one of the following extensions
    $allowedfileExtensions = array('jpg', 'gif', 'png', 'zip', 'txt', 'xls', 'doc');

    if (in_array($fileExtension, $allowedfileExtensions))
    {
      // directory in which the uploaded file will be moved
      $uploadFileDir = './uploads/';
      $dest_path = $uploadFileDir . $newFileName;
      if(move_uploaded_file($fileTmpPath, $dest_path)) 
      {
        $message ='File is successfully uploaded.';
      }
      else 
      {
        $message = 'There was some error moving the file to upload directory. Please make sure the upload directory is writable by web server.';
      }
    }
    else
    {
      $message = 'Upload failed. Allowed file types: ' . implode(',', $allowedfileExtensions);
    }
  }
  else
  {
    $message = 'There is some error in the file upload. Please check the following error.<br>';
    $message .= 'Error:' . $_FILES['uploadedFile']['error'];
  }
}
$_SESSION['message'] = $message;
header("Location: index.php");

Of course this would require some authentication added to it, which could just be as easy as random string in a post variable. The people that would use this feature would also have to get the certificate fingerprint via a web browser, so the wifiClientSecure could be used (https://github.com/hugethor/WiFiClientSecure).

Thanks for your consideration!

Thanks Should be straightforward, but due to time contraints it may take a couple of weeks.

[thatSFguy]

totally understand the time constraint part! Looking forward it and it gives me some time to figure out the web interface. Thanks!

in v9.2, see ftp.cpp

Thanks! I'm still under water on a work and personal house project and I can't wait on starting this project... Many Thanks! P.S. Hopefully next week.
