There is no web standard for intelligently uploading large files or fixing unreliable/slow connectivity. If this can be adopted into some sort of pseudo-standard perhaps people can make some browser addons/plugins to take advantage, and who knows, maybe we'll be able to get it into a browser or two natively. Today an applet has to be used no matter what, and any site that accepts large files or has any sort of "advanced" uploading is using applets. HTTP uploading doesn't have any resuming or anything, period. If people use normal multipart POST forms and they get large files, they're just lucky :) Note: I actually am talking to an nginx module developer about creating the server component as an nginx module, which would reduce any PHP complexities; ideally it would be a drop-in replacement for uploading and would be transparent to PHP... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
