Shouldn't uploading the file to the conversion service be pretty fast since it probably goes through a 100M+ line?

Then, there should be any other problem, yesterday i took me ages to upload a 12mb file to Indico (sending it through gmail was much faster). We need to investigate more on this. People complain :(

More bout this, yesterday from a 'hotel connection' (I will check tonight how is the connection there) took ~10 mins to upload the file. From GSI, 2 secs...so, maybe Indico is not performing that bad. I will try to send the file with gmail from the hotel to see the difference.

Also, a good improvement would be a progress bar as Gmail has, to really understand that we are uploading the file and not hanging forever, nop?

Recent browsers can upload files via XHR and provide a way to display progress without server-side hacks. However, since we are currently doing most uploads from dialogs via hidden iframes it would probably require pretty much similar code for those two cases (I'd bet that IE7/8 do not support HTML5 FileData? required for XHR uploads)

  • Summary changed from Send file to conversion off-line? to Improve upload file + send file to conversion off-line

Yesterday, another Indico user complained about a timeout while uploading a 85MB file.
We should do:

  1. send to conversion offline
  2. use a nice HTML5 drop-file that shows the progress bar.
