Hello S., sorry for the really late reply! Just cleaning up my mailbox, and that was forgotten.

Indeed this needs documentation and some refinement (Stef recently made the chunking better), but at least with spawning a process like dd, having that write the output file, and feeding blocks into it with .input() seems like a workable solution for now. It of course would be better if the cockpit.file() API would support sending the contents in multiple chunks, but cockpit.js doesn't currently do that. However, the *protocol* [1] does allow it. I. e. you can open a raw channel [2] with the payload="fsreplace1" type, and feed the data using channel.send() in multiple blocks. I'm not aware of an existing example there, but that's IMHO the most elegant and efficient way. Thanks, Martin [1] https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/blob/master/doc/protocol.md#payload-fsreplace1 [2] https://cockpit-project.org/guide/latest/cockpit-channels.html _______________________________________________ cockpit-devel mailing list -- cockpit-devel@lists.fedorahosted.org To unsubscribe send an email to cockpit-devel-le...@lists.fedorahosted.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedorahosted.org/archives/list/cockpit-devel@lists.fedorahosted.org
