Subject: CFFILE - Confused about functionality...
Hi all,
We have an intranet web site that has a section where the users can upload a
file to the server. What i have is a few questions regarding how the
coldfusion server executes the CFFile tag.
1) If a user uploads a large file, say 1.5 megs, and then attempts to upload
another file immediately afterward, will it cause an error with the
previously
executed CFFile tag?
2) is there a way to determine from inside coldfusion somewhere the
following
information regarding the status of a file upload.
a) the speed of the users connection (i.e. 28.8, 56k, etc.)
b) if a can be retrieved, calculate a display showing the status of the
uploading file (like the famous blue upload bar with windows applications).
c) does CFFILE care if there are any spaces in the file path or is it a
browser issue ? For example c:\Netscape 6\text.txt
d) IF CFFile is uploading a very large file, will cf throw an error if
another file is uploaded immediately after uploading the previous file or is
the previous file upload inside a seperate thread connection to the cf
server?
Our intranet site has had some intermittant cffile upload errors. They have
occured mainly with my boss when he has tested the system. Unfortunately,
he
didnt save any of the error pages returned by the server. :(
My boss wants to have a status page display showing the user the upload
status
of the file and/or calculate a pause, based on the users connection speed to
the net and the size of the file uploaded, to prevent the user from
attempting
another file upload before the first one is finished. IF anyone has any
pointers or URLs to share, I would be eternaly gratefull. Thanks. :)
Ryan
