/* eslint-env node, dirigible */

var upload = require("http/v4/upload");
var request = require("http/v4/request");
var response = require("http/v4/response");

if (request.getMethod() === "POST") {
    if (upload.isMultipartContent()) {
        var fileItems = upload.parseRequest();
        for (i = 0; i < fileItems.size(); i++) {
            var fileItem = fileItems.get(i);
            if (!fileItem.isFormField()) {
                // Getting the file name and bytes
                response.println("File Name: " + fileItem.getName());
                response.println("File Bytes (as text): " + String.fromCharCode.apply(null, fileItem.getBytes()));
            } else {
                // Getting the headers
                var fileItemHeaders = fileItem.getHeaders();
                var fileItemHeaderNames = fileItemHeaders.getHeaderNames();

                var fieldHeaders = {};
                for (j=0; j<fileItemHeaderNames.size(); j++) {
                  var headerName = fileItemHeaderNames.get(j);
                  var headerValue = fileItemHeaders.getHeader(headerName);
                  fieldHeaders[headerName] = headerValue;
                }
                response.println("Field Headers: " + JSON.stringify(fieldHeaders));

                // Getting the field name and value
                response.println("Field Name: " + fileItem.getFieldName());
                response.println("Field Text: " + fileItem.getText());
            }
        }
    } else {
        response.println("The request's content must be 'multipart'");
    }
} else if (request.getMethod() === "GET") {
    response.println("Use POST request.");
}

response.flush();
response.close();
