streaming file upload
karo
I'm pretty new to nitrogen, but I wondered if the following is
possible:
I would like to make a file upload where the incoming chunks are
directly processed and some output is given on the web page.
The file might be pretty big, so I want to see immediate feedback,
while the file is being uploaded and I don't want to wait until the
whole file is uploaded.
Can anyone point me into the right direction how this can be achieved
with nitrogen?

This is something that I've been working on and pondering over, or at
least something similar: tracking the upload progress, and as the two
requirements are similar, they should be able to happen together.
But with the current version of Nitrogen and SimpleBridge, it doesn't
currently support streaming. You might have some luck currently by
tapping directly into one of the webservers directly, like making a
Yaws module that gets handled directly by Yaws.

upload progress events.
But we still need some ability to upload BIG files

working mostly correctly in Chrome, but in Firefox, it's not working
properly yet (and does IE9 even support the file API? IIRC, it
doesn't, but I'm not sure). I haven't tinkered with it for a couple
of weeks now, but I intend on finish it soon.
As for uploading big files, I've got a quick fix for Mochiweb's
simpe-bridge that overrides the default 1MB limit:
