What's the use case you're looking to implement? If it's small file uploads, it's probably just simpler to "fake it" using an animated spinwait image. If you're handling large file uploads and need somewhat accurate display of progress, then yes, a change to the core will need to be made to expose the bytes received in one conn thread to another conn thread. If security isn't a big concern (how bad is it if a user is able to find out the progress of another user's upload?) then implementing this change isn't necessarily a /lot/ of hacking around. What would be the best way of exposing this as a Tcl command, though? I'm thinking "ns_info conn $threadId" which returns a Tcl list of information about a conn. -- Dossy -- Dossy Shiobara | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://dossy.org/ Panoptic Computer Network | http://panoptic.com/ "He realized the fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly -- then you can let go and quickly move on."
