HUM 0.7

HUM is a CGI module that processes multipart/form-data input, extracts a file being uploaded and saves it under compiled-in dir preserving original filename. If the file already exists, HUM calls tmpnam() function to generate unique file name. Note that this can result in saving the file in a totally different location. This depends upon P_tmpdir constant found in . See tmpnam(3). This feature is pretty much experimental. There are several ways to generate unique filename in *nix, and I have choosen tmpnam() just because its POSIX compliant. If you believe HUM must use tempnam, or mktemp, or whatever other way to avoid overwriting existing files, please let me know. In many senses HUM is referemtial implementation and some parts must be changed to make it more stable and usable in extra heavy load enviroments. Note that since version 0.7 HUM refuses to run with root (e)uid/(e)gid. Its not configurable, dont even ask. You can change HUM behaviour by altering the code, but you arent encouraged to. Running your HTTP server under root account is asking for troubles..
