Comment (by Michael Axiak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>):
I should also explain the rationale for the naming of the files:
We use the {{{X-Progress-ID}}} value for the name of the file that stores
the progress because in subsequent requests we're going to need to get the
file by that same value.
We use a (python) temporary file name for the actual file that's being
uploaded because it guarantees uniqueness. Since {{{X-Progress-ID}}} is
provided by the client, we can't guarantee someone won't start auto-
generating requests and cause a collision on the files themselves. I have
thought of putting the {{{X-Progress-ID}}} in the session. This can be
done but it relies on the session app -- which is not a prereq for Django
to work -- being activated and file uploading is a core feature.
It doesn't seem like too much of an issue if the progress tracking has a
small chance of getting munged. The actual files, OTOH, would be a bit
worrisome.
That being said, if you ''really'' don't like the naming, and have a
better suggestion, by all means suggest it.
