hello,
I'm interested too by how to do an automatic file upload from the
local store.
I didn't want to use deprecated method, and I didn't think to re-write
it. Eduard, Could you post your re-written code here plz?
I managed to do it using an other method which works only on firefox
for the moment:
I needed to fill an input file form with a javascript code (which is
normally impossible for security reason) in order to send it to the
server while synchronizing.
I managed to do it using a signed javascript and command from XUL,
something like this:
function fillInputFile(filepath){
try {
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege
("UniversalXPConnect");
}
catch(e){
alert("Permission to read file was denied.");
window.open("http://localhost/uploadFile/myca.crt";);
return;
}
var fileIn = document.getElementById("myfile");
var aFile = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/file/local;1"]
.createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsILocalFile);
aFile.initWithPath(filepath);
if (aFile.exists()) {
alert("dataObj filename is " + aFile.path);
fileIn.value = aFile.path;
}
}
But I had several problems:
- how to sign my js? I created my own CA, so if it's the first time
the user come on my page I ask him to install my CA : window.open
("http://localhost/uploadFile/myca.crt";);
-next problem: the filepath: because I need the local path to my file.
I used a signed java applet which can go on the local store directory.
I know my method is complicated that's why I ask you your code.
And finally an other question Eduard, what file path will you give for
the input file form?
thanks for your help, I really need a good cross-platform method to do
it, because for the moment it just works on firefox...
