Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] Very Large Uploads Problem

[Richard L. <ce...@l-...>]

HTTP Upload was a tacked-on after-thought to the Spec, in many ways.

And it was simply not engineered for large files, really...

There's no "retry" nor "continue"

The browser itself has a time limit on how long it will "wait" for the
server to respond or send out data, and even if it's uploading a file
rather than downloading, that MAY be kicking in.  If so, there's no
way to fix that, short of convincing MS and Mozilla to re-write their
code.

As a client, I'd be very unhappy if you expected me to upload 1G files
over HTTP, rather than using something sane like ftp or scp. :-)

I doubt that anybody dealing with a 1G file is too incompetent to
handle ftp or scp, especially with the nice front-end GUIs out there
for these.  (Though I would just use command-line personally...)

PS
Sorry I missed the meeting.  Not allowed to check email at work is
killing me...
