[DUG] HTTP Upload Progress

[Conor Boyd]

Why everybody's obsession with forms/webpages?

HTTP as a protocol has nothing specific to do with forms/pages/javascript.

There's no reason why native code can't talk HTTP.  Indeed, a lot of the Indy components are for just that purpose, and I even provided an example of HTTP upload progress in native code.

This is the Delphi list, after all. :-Þ

Just curious...

You could do it in Javascript reltively simply ||||||||||||| makes a decent progress bar, I have never got into graphics with JS though its would be relatively simple to resize a <div> as a progress bar

This is the Ajax Tool I use WWW: http://www.AjaxToolbox.com/
