ClientPutComplexDir

This is a message of the Freenet Client Protocol 2.0 (FCP 2.0). It is sent from a client program to the Freenet node.

Inserts one or more items under one single key.

ClientPutComplexDir works like an item container, in wich you can place any number of items that can be retrieved under the same Uri. On insert items are added to the container as "Files.0.*" up to "Files.N.*", on retrieval items can be retrieved as "Uri/MyItemName1", "Uri/Subfolder/MyItemName2".

Notes:

• item Numbers must start at zero and advance sequentially
• data associated to data items will be read in item order from the end of the message
• an item can not be a folder and an item at the same time. That is, as for the exsample given above, you can not pass an item named "Subfolder"

The message accepts the following fields:

Field	Possible values	Mandatory?	Default	Description
URI	CHK@ KSK@name SSK@privateKey/docname-1 USK@privateKey/docname/0/	Yes		The type of key to insert. When inserting an SSK key, you explicitly specifiy the version number. For a USK key, use a zero and it should automatically use the correct version number.
Identifier	Arbitrary text string	Yes		This is just for client to be able to identify files that have been inserted.
Verbosity	Bitmask. At present only bits 1 and 512 are supported.	No	0	0: report when complete, 1: SimpleProgress messages, 512: send StartedCompression and FinishedCompression messages
MaxRetries	Integer -1 to 999999+?	No	?	Number of times to retry if the first time doesn't work. -1 means retry forever.
PriorityClass	Number 0 (maximum priority) to 6 (minimum priority)	No	2 (Semi-interactive priority class)	How to prioritise the insert.
GetCHKOnly	false, true	No	false	If set to true, it won't actually insert the data, just return the key it would generate. If the key is USK, you may want to transform it into a SSK, to prevent the node spending time searching for an unused index.
Global	true, false	No	false	Whether the insert is visible on the global queue or not.
DontCompress	true, false	No		Hint to node: don't try to compress the data, it's already compressed
ClientToken	Arbitrary string	No		Sent back to client on the PersistentPut if this is a persistent request
Persistence	connection, reboot, forever	No	connection	Whether the insert stays on the queue across new client connections, freenet restarts, or forever
TargetFilename	A filename (no slashes)	No	Extracted from URI or Filename	Filename to be appended to a CHK insert. Technically it creates a one-file manifest with this filename pointing to the file being uploaded. Ignored for all types other than CHK, since other types have human-readable filenames anyway. Empty means no filename.
EarlyEncode	false, true	No	False	See EarlyEncode
DefaultName	string	No	False	The item to display when someone requests the Uri only (without the item name part)

Followed by one or more of the following items:

Data item
Field	Possible values	Mandatory?	Description
Files.N.Name		Yes	Name under which the item can be retrieved under the key. May contain slashes to indicate subfolders
Files.N.UploadFrom	direct	Yes
Files.N.DataLength	integer	Yes	Number of bytes of data associated to the item
Files.N.Metadata.ContentType	Any MIME type	No	The MIME type of the data being inserted. For text, if charset is not specified, node should auto-detect it and force the auto-detected version

File item
Field	Possible values	Mandatory?	Description
Files.N.Name		Yes	Name under which the item can be retrieved under the key. May contain slashes to indicate subfolders
Files.N.UploadFrom	disk	Yes
Files.N.Filename		Yes	The name of the file on disk
Files.N.DataSize	integer	No	Size of the file to upload in bytes
Files.N.Metadata.ContentType	Any MIME type	No	The MIME type of the data being inserted. For text, if charset is not specified, node should auto-detect it and force the auto-detected version

Redirect item
Field	Possible values	Mandatory?	Description
Files.N.Name		Yes	Name under which the item can be retrieved under the key. May contain slashes to indicate subfolders
Files.N.UploadFrom	redirect	Yes
Files.N.TargetURI		Yes	Freenet Uri to redirect to
