Hello,
While implementing upload control in XSLTForms
(http://www.agencexml.com/xsltforms/uploads.xml), I was wondering in
what real use cases it can be used.
With xsi:anyURI type, the server only gets a filename (usually prefixed
by "fakedpath") for security reasons. So, only the short name (not the
full path) is meaningful.
With xsi:hexBinary and xsi:base64Binary, the full content of the chosen
file is copied and expanded (2 times or 1.67 times respectively) within
an instance. Uploading big files will require time (and memory) and a
progress bar with a cancel option would be useful and, then, submission
will also take time...
So, what are the effective or expected use cases for the upload control?
Thank you for your answers!
-Alain
