Add support for PUTting files

I wanted to PUT files on my server using express and multer but after some hours I resigned - it’s not possible, is it? (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33976006/multer-wont-recognize-files-with-put)

app.put('/upload/:file', upload.any(), function (req, res, next) {
  console.log('files: ' + req.files);
  console.log(req.params.file);
  res.send('got that');
})

IMO this should work. It should accept whatever file I PUT. It shouldn’t be much work to add support for this, I think. I’ll take a look at the sources; maybe I can file a PR.

P.S.: How can I accept any path that comes with PUT? Something like app.put('^/.*$', ...) or app.put('^/.+$', ...).

Multer does support PUT, as noted in the answer on stack overflow, the problem is that your curl call is sending the raw file, not a multipart/form-data. The following call should work for you.

curl -X PUT --form "file=@someFile.jpg" http://localhost:8888/up

If you want to accept raw boides instead, which is another use case and thus isn’t covered by multer, you could use body-parser. Have a look at the raw function.

No problem, discussion is always good 👍
