I've put together a golang func that takes an uploaded file and saves it to folder. Just before os.Create() I am getting the following error :
http: panic serving [::1]:64373: runtime error: index out of range
My golang function is:
func webUploadHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
file, header, err := r.FormFile("file") // the FormFile function takes in the POST input id file
if err != nil {
fmt.Fprintln(w, err)
return
}
defer file.Close()
// My error comes here
messageId := r.URL.Query()["id"][0]
out, err := os.Create("./upload/" + messageId + ".mp3")
if err != nil {
fmt.Fprintf(w, "Unable to create the file for writing. Check your write access privilege")
return
}
defer out.Close()
// write the content from POST to the file
_, err = io.Copy(out, file)
if err != nil {
fmt.Fprintln(w, err)
}
fmt.Fprintf(w,"File uploaded successfully : ")
fmt.Fprintf(w, header.Filename)
}
any ideas? much appreciate
You should at least check if r.URL.Query()["id"] has actually one element.
If len(r.URL.Query()["id"]), you could consider not accessing the index 0.
Easier, Ainar-G suggests in the comments to use the Get() method
Get gets the first value associated with the given key.
If there are no values associated with the key, Get returns the empty string.
To access multiple values, use the map directly.
