File overwritten when multiple files with same name uploaded via POST

[anihm136]

When multiple files of the same name are uploaded via POST method, transfer.sh overwrites all of them with the last uploaded file. This happens because all the files uploaded in a single POST request get a single UID in the URL, and are named based on the upload name. How to replicate:

1. Upload two files with the same name but different contents (for example, a/foo.txt and b/foo.txt in a single POST request
2. Open the returned URLs

Expected outcome: The two uploaded files are different

Actual outcome: The uploaded files are the same, with one overwriting the other

Possible solutions:

1. Generate a separate UID for each file in a POST request
2. Add another unique random string to the filename so that the upload URL is different

thanks @anihm136

since you are already working on the POST handler do you mind implementing solution 1? :)

thanks

Sure, will do. Might take some time depending on my schedule, so do let me know if anyone else wants to take it up in the meantime.
