Contribution description

This adds a function to upload a file from VFS to a CoAP server via block-wise PUT request.

Testing procedure

You can test this with aiocoap-fileserver -w:

download a file from the CoAP server

> ncget coap://[fe80::2454:cfff:fea7:4598]/LICENSE
Saved as /nvm0/LICENSE

upload the file again under a different name

> ncput /nvm0/LICENSE coap://[fe80::2454:cfff:fea7:4598]/LICENSE-2
Saved to coap://[fe80::2454:cfff:fea7:4598]/LICENSE-2

the files should be identical

$ md5sum LICENSE*

Two nitpicks inline. PUTting and re-GETting a file works well, also with BWT.

Something I have not noticed before. The first transfer goes well, but during the second or sometimes the third, the client seems to send the blocks twice and sys/net/application_layer/nanocoap/sock.c:187 fires.

Uh good catch!
Is that with coap-server and netdev_tap?
(btw: you can run Wireshark traces directly if you run them through gzip and Wireshark understands to open .pcapng.gz files)

No netdev_tap but an Ethernet connection between board and PC and CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_GNRC_IPV6_NIB_ARSM=1. In nanocoap_sock_request_cb(), data is not sent after the first call to sock_udp_sendv() and sock_udp_recv_buf() returns a timeout. I don´t know why, yet.

Thanks for the hint.

Hm maybe we have a bug in gnrc_sock. I see something similar with SUIT update when routing it via an intermediate RIOT node, but that might also be something else - still investigating.

When I tried to reproduce this on same54-xpro it would crash because it ran out of stack space - might that be the issue here?

Stack size is not the problem. I also had to increased stack sizes with:

CFLAGS += -DTHREAD_STACKSIZE_MAIN=2*THREAD_STACKSIZE_LARGE
CFLAGS += -DGCOAP_STACK_SIZE=2*THREAD_STACKSIZE_LARGE

But this is just may configuration, and is probably not necessary for everyone.

I'm still looking for a way to reproduce this - do you also see this issue with the put command in tests/nanocoap_cli?

Yes it also happens with tests/nanocoap_cli.
The first transmission is ok but takes a while.
client put fe80::3478:9157:9fd5:81c3%5 5683 /data datendatendaten
And then, there (almost) always happens a retransmission if I repeat the command, but the retransmission seems to happen immediately and not after [ACK_TIMEOUT, ACK_TIMEOUT * RANDOM_FACTOR].
(look how close the retransmission is to the original transmission regarding the timestamp)

So what are we going to do? The error does not come from this PR. This PR looks fine. It is something with gnrc_sock and/or timers. I think it is annoying to stop this PR because of that. If you agree, we could merge this anyway.
