No I dint put the question in terms of standard UNIX tools approach, ?in
fact i can use the httpd ?applet in busybox.
The problem is that earlier I was using thttpd web server to create some cgi
scripts for monitoring certain information from the board. as the firmware
up gradation feature was needed i tried with another CGI to upload the file.
There is a major problem with thttpd in uploading big files say more than 1
MB , the connection will get timed out. Now I have to search for another web
server where this problem will not be there. I am trying all the web server
whatever i come through. I ll look try the server you mentioned suitable for
my need and let you know.
If what you need to do is monitor the box and upload images without
any heavy duty web application for configuration etc, I'll go with
netcat to execute the utilities and pipe the output to the connection
and wget/curl/socat in conjunction with it to fetch/ images files from
your repository. If your access is security sensitive and worries
about password going in clear text, then use a webserver like boa or
GoAhead.
IMHO, fetching the images using these utilities on the box is a better
approach than trying to upload an image using http(s). Further, these
utilities support retries/ resumes which will be useful in times of
flaky access.
