Common problems with large file uploads

Re:Common problems with large file uploads by rajbot on Wednesday July 18, 2012 @05:49PM (#4263176)

I've been dealing with browser-based large file uploads, which means dealing with lots of browser-specific issues.

Fortunately, things are getting better, especially for the webkit-based browsers. Firefox still has some issues, and I check https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=678648 pretty regularly. Just today this bug, which was filed in 2003, changed from Status = NEW to Status = ASSIGNED.

Today is a good day.

To clarify, bug 678648 was logged in 2011 and is marked as a duplicate of bug 215450 (the one from 2003): "uploading files that are larger the 2GB fails" @ https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215450

First, I'm impressed that someone was uploading 2gb files back in 2003...

Agreed. Good to see that firefox is going to be able to do more than 2gb soon.

That title is a bit misleading.. On some platforms you can already use Firefox to do >2GB uploads, but there is still a 4GB limit..

If anyone wants to help beta-test a HTML5 uploader that calls archive.org's S3-like endpoint under the hood (no IE or Opera support yet, though Opera 12 is now working..): http://archive.org/upload/
