Awesome jQuery File Upload
Yet another nice stab at the problem. But every time I look through a component like this, it simply does not work. The corner cases kill you with end user complaints.<p>No fault of the engineer:
THIS NEEDS TO GET BUILT INTO THE DAMN BROWSER.<p>Yes. Upload. With an actual progress bar. Built into the app you sit in all day. Imagine that.<p>Sending messages to a PHP server script so you can have the server tell you how many bytes were sent? Even the dumbest terminals knew how to show a bytes uploaded count with XMODEM in 1977.<p>Google Music installs a friggin client app to hash and upload your songs. DropBox still can't get drag and drop working and STILL limits files to 150MB if you upload via HTTP.<p>This is such a basic scenario I simply don't understand why it hasn't been solved. And don't even get me started on the Upload Straight to Amazon S3 via Flash/Silverlight doodads. Nobody can seem to get those working reliably either.
