        this.response.end("filename: " + name + " PARM: " + parm);

    }
});

Could you please also include the sample code needed for streaming a file back to the client ?

If you don;t mind asking, how did you solve "this.request.files" not defined ? Do you have a nodejs library included in project?

THanks

I would also like to know this please
