#215 Upload more files in HTML <input type="file" multiple/>

[Mircea]

Hi!

In the age of HTML 5 browsers, it would be very useful to be able to upload multiple files in HTML

 <input type="file" multiple/>

Currently, we can upload just into single file input tags:
HtmlFileInput#setValueAttribute(path);
HtmlFileInput#setContentType(contenType);

I find this as very important feature, which limits our current possibilities of fully testing pages because we don't have this functionality.
Thank you!

Can we have a time estimate until implementation?
Our current projects need this little feature so much, thus it's a must have.
Until then, is there any alternative we could use?
Thank you so much!

This is an open source project, which depends on developers free time.

You can fix it and provide a patch :)

You may consider Professional Support as well.

We'll try to provide a patch.
Is there any guidance that could help in doing that?

I've found a trick that could be used until HtmlUnit will support this feature.
