µTasker general / turning off FS
« on: July 09, 2007, 11:03:51 PM »
platform: M5223x
app: uTasker V1.3 sample app with service packs 1-4
This might sound crazy, but I was wondering if it is possible to turn off (or disable) the uTasker file system in config.h yet still continue to use the HTTP server? In essence all I want is to use the HTTP-POST method to upload a new non-uTasker application to flash.
I replaced the 404 text #define (in config.h) with the POST section of 5admin.htm. Therefore I don't need "files" to serve up the HTML pages. This means I can diasable FTP (to save more space). I don't plan on saving the data that is uploaded with the POST as a "file". So I don't need "files" to serve, and I don't need to save uploaded data as a "file".
From the looks of it I'll need to hack the HTTP.c code since it seems to assume the filesystem is available, but if the above makes sense to you then you'll see that I don't really need files. Any "gotchas" I should consider?
[ps. I can't determine if this should be in this forum or the M5223x forum]
