SID-01285: Upload pre-generated wiki page

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	4.2.0	Perl version:
Category:	CategoryEditing	Server OS:	Window Server 2003	Last update:	14 years ago

I have a specific wiki page that is automatically generated from application source code when it is compiled. The generated page is in the TWiki "raw" format, and I currently upload it to the correct place in the directory hierarchy using SCP, however using SCP, in this case, requires root access.

I would like to allow my other developers, who do not have root access, to also upload updates to this wiki page when they compile the aforementioned source code. I cannot give SCP access to the developers, because the wiki also contains company information for other departments, to which the developers are not allowed access (read or write).

Is there some URL in the wiki to which the raw page could be POSTed or PUT, and have it replace the existing page?

We run TWiki-4.2.0, Tue, 22 Jan 2008, build 16278.

Discussion and Answer

TWiki has several Extensions:import options, such as UploadToTWikiAddOn. You could programmatically attach your generated file to a TWiki page, then INCLUDE that attachment in a TWiki page.

You could also simply use CurlTool, WwwMechanize or another http library to programmatically push content into a TWiki page by POSTing to the save script. Parameters are documented in TWikiScripts.
