Unable to get file to transfer

[HiloCoder]

I am trying to use socketio-file-upload from a context menu item click event. I am calling myinstance.prompt(), the dialog comes up, I select a file, hit Open. The server emits a "siofu_ready", then nothing else happens. The file is created in the specified server side dir but with 0 bytes. No errors in the console. Help would be appreciated.

Are you running Node.JS on Windows XP, or is that just your desktop operating system? Windows XP may be kind-of quirky with Node.JS, especially with regards to file streams and such.

Can you try running the following script and see if it creates the file correctly? It should make "hello.txt" that contains "hello world". This uses the same under-the-hood mechanism for writing the file as socketio-file-upload.

var fs = require("fs");
var buf = new Buffer("aGVsbG8gd29ybGQNCg==", "base64");
var path = "hello.txt";

var stream = fs.createWriteStream(path, { mode: "0666" });

stream.on("open", function(){
    setTimeout(function(){
        stream.write(buf);
        stream.end();
    }, 100);
});

Yes, running node js on Win XP for development and have had no problems.  I ran your script and it works correctly.

Were you able to solve this issue?

You may also want to try the new useBuffer option in version 0.3 (which requires Socket.IO 1.0).

No, I ended up using formidable.
