[Htmlunit-user] Progress bar for a large file submitted through a input type file in a form

[jcjimen <jcj...@re...>]

Hi all,

I'm developing a test application which uploads large files through a input
type="file" in a form.

I would like to know if there is any way of knowing the status of the upload
to create a progress bar or something else to show it graphically in the
application.

The call to submit the form is of course a submit and the application will
continue the next line execution when page gets the value, i.e. when the
file is uploaded.

page = (HtmlPage) form.submit((HtmlSubmitInput)
form.getInputByValue("Upload"));

Is there something implemented for this? It would be very useful to show a
progress of the submit form (file upload). Any help?

Regards,
John Charles

Hi,

HtmlUnit doesn't provide any facility for that. I've looked a bit at 
HttpClient's sources and it seems possible if you manage to subclass 
InputStreamRequestEntity and override writeRequest... and gets your code 
used for post requests. For this you would need to subclass 
HttpWebConnection then to return your own HttpMethod for POST and to 
override generateRequestEntity to return your subclass of 
InputStreamRequestEntity

Note that we want to migrate to HttpClient 4.0 for the next HtmlUnit 
release and custom code written against Commons-HttpClient-3.1 API will 
probably not work anymore.

Cheers,
Marc.
