[[TracNav(DocsToc)]] {{{ #!rst ======================================= Uploadprogress with Lighttpd 1.5.x(svn) ======================================= -------------------------- Module: mod_uploadprogress -------------------------- .. meta:: :keywords: lighttpd, upload, progress .. contents:: Table of Contents Options ======= :: upload-progress.progress-url = <string> (default: /progress) upload-progress.remove-timeout = <short> (default: 60 seconds) upload-progress.debug = "(enable|disable)" (default: "disable") Description =========== This module can be used to track the progress of a current upload. When a file upload is done, the current received bytes are tracked with this module and can be retrieved via the progress-url and the tracking key. This key has to be added to the upload url or via header. In combination with server.max-request-size, usually the browser will display an error page containing information that the connection has been terminated. This can not be replaced with a custom error page, the browsers aren't displaying them. The uploadprogress module tracks this errors now. If the upload is done in one window (or an iframe which will be hidden on form submit), another iframe can display a custom uploadprogress page which can also fetch the status 413 via json if this happen. If 413 is retrieved, a custom error message (File is too big) can be displayed. The first examples can be found at http://blog.lighttpd.net/articles/2006/08/01/mod_uploadprogress-is-back The mentioned multi-frame example will be added in the future. JSON ==== The returned json may contain: state: current state of upload values = starting, error, done, uploading status: http error status values = 413 size: size of request received: bytes received by lighttpd yet Example ======= Three html-files are appended as example, based on Jan's work mentioned at the link above. You need to add the tracking_id (an example how this is done with a single page upload and javascript is also provided at Jan's blog). In the iframe version, you can generate the tracking_id via php or other server-side scripting. Warning, the files are not working out of the box, you have to change things! Downloads ========= index.html - main page http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/attachment/wiki/Docs/ModUploadProgress/index.html status.html - page containing progress http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/attachment/wiki/Docs/ModUploadProgress/status.html upload.html - page posting the file http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/attachment/wiki/Docs/ModUploadProgress/upload.html }}} == Note == Since lighttpd v1.5 r1896 there has been a slight change in the upload url (see http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/ticket/1300), the url format of the page to POST upload to changed from this format: http://example.com/upload.php?<32_character_unique_id_goes_here> to this format http://example.com/upload.php?X-Progress-ID=<32_character_unique_id_goes_here> notice the X-Progress-ID=<32_character_unique_id_goes_here> key => value pair theres a new example (using YUI framework) here http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/attachment/ticket/1300/index.2.html hope this helps people
