TUS in prolog

Announcing the release of v0.0.1 of TUS in prolog implementation of the TUS protocol for resumable file uploads via HTTP (see: Tus)

The implementation can be found on GitHub here structured as a SWI-Prolog package.

Examples

Server

To use the TUS server with the HTTP library in swipl you can simply
add a tus_dispatch call to your http_handler from a chosen endpoint
as follows:

:- http_handler(root(files), tus_dispatch,
                [ methods([options,head,post,patch]),
                  prefix
                ]).

In order to determine the location of a given resource when passed the
resource URL in other contexts you can use the utility predicate
tus_uri_resource(URI, Resource) together with
tus_resource_path(Resource, Resource_Path). In this way once a
client has uploaded a resource it can be referred to in client-server
communications, and be moved, modified or manipulated by server code.

Client

The client invocation requires only the endpoint of interest and a
file and can be invoked thus:

tus_upload(Example, URL, Resource)

The Resource variable gives back a resource handle that the server can use to
refer to the resource in subsequent communication.

TODO

The remaining extensions would be desirable:

  • Checksum
  • Concatenation
  • Termination
