Comment #4 on issue 6003 by lcamtuf: FEATURE REQUEST: File upload by URL http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=6003
Actually, doesn't it actually kinda work in Windows right now? At the very least, on my box, clicking on an input type=file box, going to the 'open' dialog, and entering an URL such as http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/d/nauszniki.jpg would actually result in the retrieved .jpg being sent to the server. Otherwise, if we want to make it platform-independent, there are several minor security considerations that boil down to never allowing a malicious page specify (or even provide a file name hint) for the URL to be uploaded, very much like it is currently the case with regular type=file inputs. /mz -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
