Since it is not possible to upload data directly into the client
without going through a server, I am wondering if it would be
possible to have our servlet directly stream the data back to Flex
and grab it with the UPLOAD_COMPLETE_DATA event.
On the Java end we are trying something like this:
//FileItem item;
InputStream in = item.getInputStream();
OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
out.flush();
We can get small text examples to work, but seem to have trouble when
the data is an image or larger file. Images will work if we Base64
encode them, but they also break if the file size is too large. This
may be because it just won't work. However, I am assuming someone
else has tried this and I would love to know if there is a way to get
it to work. We would prefer not to have to go through the process of
saving a bunch of temporary files on the server only to simply send
them back with a second call.
Thanks,
Kevin
