file upload progress?

[Andrew Kuklewicz]

Has anyone figured out how to get file upload progress using passenger
yet?

probably the same way you do for normal rails. Either just wait or
use backgroundrb [or maybe something better exists out there]. Or is
there a mod_rails specific thing for it?

Currently we don't provide a way to determine upload progress.

I've wrote apache upload progress module. It is inspired by nginx
upload progress module. I have a few applications relying on nginx
module, so my module for apache reports uploads with JSON response in
the same format. I've launched it on my server and everything seems to
work fine without any single change in code.

You can grab code on github:
http://github.com/drogus/apache-upload-progress-module/tree/master

upload_progress_module works well with passenger, but you can use it
even without mod_passenger. It is hooked using APR_HOOK_FIRST so
reports are handled before mod_passenger.

Although upload_progress_module works on my server, it is still in
development, so be careful - I don't know if it's stable.

I would be grateful for any help with improving, debugging and testing
this module (i'm not C developer ;-).

Nice work. :) I'll refer to this in the manual.

Thanks :)

I'll write some tutorial on how to implement progress bar using Rails
and jQuery/Prototype. :)

Don't know much about licenses and such stuff, but I've added MIT
license - it seems liberal and simple. :)
