Comment #6 on issue 6003 by [email protected]: FEATURE REQUEST: File upload by URL http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=6003
Mz: That's amazing and scary, it does work. It wouldn't work on OS X though. Ian, I disagree. A website developer should just be able to specify that they want a file, it shouldn't matter where it comes from (local hard-drive or web server). I agree that it's more efficient to download directly from the url, but anything that forces sites to change their implementation is not terribly practical. As for the various failure cases you detail, we could design around those. One way would be to fetch the file when the user pastes the url, just like Gmail pre-uploads attachments before you hit send. We could then show a preview before the user uploads it to the server. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
