[DUG] HTTP Upload Progress

[Jeremy Coulter]

yeah there is a bit of stuff around done in Java, but the last thing we need
to have to do is explain to people how to install java. The same for flash,
which is why I was heading in the native code direction.

The way I implemented this (in a Java web server) was that once the form was
submitted, an ajax request was fired off in the background and repeatedly
asked the server how the file upload was progressing, and updated the amount
of colour in a progress bar. The upload was attached to the session, so  the
ajax call was able to grab the info structure from the session and query it
(as the file upload specifies how big something is and as the upload is
happening, you can just specify in the structure how much you had received).

Hi Al, sorry this is a repeated post, as I have not received any emails from
the list in a week, then I got an email to reconfirm my email address
because the emails were meant to be bouncing....which is strange because its
my main email address and I have been getting emails ok....anyway using
gmail now.
So, here is my post again. Appologies if its already been answered.
 

Hi All.
I am wondering if anyone has seen or has any Delphi code that will do an
http file upload, BUT that shows you the upload progress.
I have looked at the Synapse code for doing this, but it doesn't have the
ability to show the progress.
Why use HTTP File upload and not FTP? simple answer, not every site has FTP
enabled...as we have found out, and email has been a bit unreliable.
I have taken a look at the odd Java plugin that does this which would be
good because I could just have my app. look at a webpage instead of build it
into the exe, but then, no guarantees that java is enabled
either....sigh...the joys :-(
OR someone might even have a brighter idea ;-)
