This changes only the
files.uploadcall that we have been using. It's minimal to begin with. Some of the help documentation likely will have to be updated, as well as some of the additional code in thefileupload()function, particularly cases which are potentially no longer relevant.The new
files.getUploadURLExternalendpoint requires alengthparameter, which seems quite tricky to implement in a very portable and efficient way. I went withwc -c < ${_file} | xargsbecause it seems to be the most cross-platform, but may be slow.The new
files.completeUploadExternalendpoint only accepts Channel IDs (and not channel names), which is a potentially significant usage change.
