methods
The InfraServer supports both HTTP and FTP upload of files and their MIME types. HTTP (POST) is preferred by most users because HTML provides a more rich user interface, which keeps the upload and configuration processes tightly knit.
xml wrappers
The InfraServer strategy includes encoding as much data as possible in XML format. For consistency with other InfraServer components, an XML wrapper is created and associated with all MIME files that are uploaded to the server. In this way, a File component is created which preserves interface consistency (allowing indexing, search, file operations, and access configuration) while the file itself is a resource of the File component.
E.g. if a user uploads a PDF file named imalgam.pdf to a url <filepath>, then a File component will be created with the url <filepath>/imalgam. Requests for <filepath>/imalgam return an interface for configuring the component while requests for <filepath>/imalgam.pdf download the PDF file if sufficient privileges accompany the request.
