I have a web application which needs to do an http upload (post), but it
needs to upload a scanned image. Strange thing is the user can't scan
into some temporary directory and then upload the image as an ordinary
file. (Don't ask). The requirement is to have the web browser upload
pull an image from the scanner directly.
I didn't imagine that such a thing would be a big problem.. but
apparently it is.. has anybody heard of such a web browser plugin? My
googling has come up with very little... particularly where concerns
open source.
Wait, I misunderstood what you were asking. There must be someway to
write the scanned file to disk. This doesn't sound like an issue with the
browser as along as you are ok to allow users to select which file to
upload. The solution of using pipes and such will only work on *nix
clients, which I doubt you actually have.
Yeah... basically I'm looking for something to treat the scanner as a
regular file... a /dev/scanner pseudo driver would work, or a pipe..
while that won't solve my problem as the clients in question are
Windows/IE, if it were just a matter of switching them to Firefox,
that's a proposition I might be able to make, considering the costs
involved with an IE solution.
