Subject: [Boost-users] ASIO receive and handle uploaded files
I hope that someone can give me a very general overview of what I would need to do order to create an ASIO application that handles uploaded files.
At this time, I am uploading files via my web browser to a PHP script that handles files.
From what I've read so far, I am guessing that I would have to create an ASIO server that listens for incoming HTTP POST (multipart/form-data) and saves the message to a file on the server.
Any additional information would be much appreciated as well as pointing me to a relevant ASIO example(s) that I should carefully look at.
Thank you!
