I'm looking at the actix-multipart example and there's a lot of blocking file IO. Is it possible to send a response before downloading the file? Multipart isn't Send
. I want to do something like this:
async fn save_file(mut payload: Multipart) -> Result<HttpResponse, Error> {
async_std::task::spawn(async {
// iterate over multipart stream
while let Some(item) = payload.next().await {
let mut field = item?;
let content_type = field.content_disposition().unwrap();
let filename = content_type.get_filename().unwrap();
let filepath = format!("./tmp/{}", filename);
// File::create is blocking operation, use threadpool
let mut f = web::block(|| std::fs::File::create(filepath))
.await
.unwrap();
// Field in turn is stream of *Bytes* object
while let Some(chunk) = field.next().await {
let data = chunk.unwrap();
// filesystem operations are blocking, we have to use threadpool
f = web::block(move || f.write_all(&data).map(|_| f)).await?;
}
}
});
Ok(HttpResponse::Ok().into())
}
