488154 - Collection icon uploading

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Collections, defect)

Description

[Les Orchard [:lorchard]]

We've got a placeholder for collection icons in place as of bug 487397, but a real end-to-end feature needs to be implemented for:

* accepting image uploads for collection icons
* hosting and serving uploaded collection icon images

We could stuff these into the database as blobs like addon icons, but this might be a good time to look at an alternative approach.  (eg. CDN, or at least a file system behind a static apache server somewhere.)

Since this is on a schedule, I'll implement it as a BLOB, but when we move icons out of the DB for AMO, we should use the same approach for Bandwagon as well.

Attachment: Patch, rev. 1

This allows adding an icon through the API. The patch also contains some love for the simpletest framework to allow for multipart post submissions with file attachments.

Committed to r24626 (test framework) and r24627 (code) in order to un-block bug 456132. The tests pass, but please feel free to point out any issues you may have with this code or any changes you require.

I also added the SQL to the wiki page.

Verified FIXED; this has been in prod for a while, and is well-tested/used.
