Uploading large files with HTTP_Request class

[Voß, Marko <Marko.Voss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I need to perform uploading of large files using the HTTP_Request class:

http://pear.php.net/manual/package.http.http-request.php

I am *not* using this one:

http://php.net/manual/en/class.httprequest.php


The HTTP_Request class support the following functions:

setBody() and addFile()

The addFile()-function however simulates a form field and the server application does not read the incoming file from such a field. I have to put the file content as a stream through the body.

Adding the file content using the setBody()-function will of course cause an out of memory error:

$fp = fopen($filename, 'r');
$request->setBody(fread($fp, $filesize($filename)));
$fclose($fp);
$response = $request->sendRequest();


How am I supposed to do that with this class? Are there any alternatives, which do not force me to add new PHP dependancies/libraries to the project? I am writing a library and do not want to force the users to add dependancies to their projects in order to use this library.

I am currently using PHP 5.3.0.


Thank you and best regards,
Marko
