RE: FN-FORUM: Upload script

date posted 13th January 2005 22:01

Am I missing something, or is that not actually showing the progress of
copying the file from its temporary location to the permanent location
after the file is already uploaded? As I understand it (at least in
other languages) the file is uploaded as part of the http request and
your script won't even be called until that is complete. Would be easy
enough to test with a decent sized upload on a slow link, as if I am
right the page won't load in order to show the progress bar for a
significant period of time...? Maybe .NET/IIS behaves differently and
calls the script before the upload completes but like I say that is not
what I have seen in other languages and the answers I have seen
previously have always been "only with a java applet". Maybe I am
behind the times...
