File class

File class

Class file is designed for working with files. Objects of this class can be created by different means:

1. by means of method POST through form field

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">…

<input name="photo" type="file">.

2. by one of constructors of class file.

While sending files to client (for example, by method mail:send or through field response:body) one should define HTTP-header content-type. Parser determines file type by its extension with the help of table MIME-TYPES, defined in Configuration method (see also Chapter Installing and configuring Parser). Parser uses it to automatically determine, by file extension, the type of content to be sent in header content-type. If type of content cannot be determined, content-type will be application/octet-stream.
