Topic: resuming uploads

hi, i didn't find any useful information about resuming a partly uploaded file, i suppose i shoud throw an error on server side specifying the number of chunks already uploaded, and then my javascript should change the "next chunk to send" value.. where do i find this value?
thank you in advance wink

Re: resuming uploads

We currently don't have any support for resuming. Most runtimes needs to be rewritten to support a start chunk.

This is however an interesting idea and there have been other discussions about this.

Re: resuming uploads

Giacomo,

I think I mentioned this idea to Spocke too.  I'm just putting the finishing touches on a BrowserPlus only demo of resumable uploads.  With chunking support and a little server-side smarts, most of the plugins should be able to do it in theory.  BrowserPlus also has MD5 support so it can check the signature of the reassembled file against the original.

Anyway, if you're interested, I hope to have the demo posted by Friday, March 19.  If so, it will be listed here:

Resumable upload demo here:

The upload.php script should find its way up to github next week.

Re: resuming uploads

Spencer,

Is your upload.php script on github up already? And will the resumable uploads work with all the plugins?

Thanks

Re: resuming uploads

The demo is standalone and just uses BrowserPlus ... it was not integrated with the Plupoad widget.  Each uploaded chunk has a md5 checksum computed, and I'm not sure if you can recreate that with all of the other plugins.  Though, you could drop that feature.

The direct link to the demo is:
