Hi Ken,
If you open curl as a process, you can then read the status info one
line at a time. Would that work?
Here's one way (courtesy of Josh Mellicker, with some mods):
-- a button script --
local vCurlProcess
on mouseUp
put empty into fld "output"
put formattedForCurl(fld "filename") into tFiles
put ("curl -T" && tFiles && fld "server" && "-C -") into vCurlProcess
open process vCurlProcess for read
get the result
if it = empty
then send "getCurlReport" to me in 12 ticks
else answer it
end mouseUp
on getCurlReport
read from process vCurlProcess for 1 line
put it after fld "output"
if it = empty
then closeCurl
else send "getCurlReport" to me in 12 ticks
end getCurlReport
on closeCurl
close process vCurlProcess
answer "Done."
end closeCurl
function formattedForCurl pFileList
-- handle single file selection
if the number of lines in pFileList = 1 then return quote &
pFileList & quote
-- handle multi file selections
replace CR with "," in pFileList
put quote & "{" & pFileList & "}" & quote into tList
return tList
end formattedForCurl
There you have it!

I have some large files (100MB +) that I need to FTP to a customer's server.
I have tried to use libURL to do the uploading, but I get odd results/random
timeouts/errant status messages when the file I'm uploading is over 40MB.
I've tried many different workarounds to this, but none have been
consistent/acceptable so for this project I'm seeing if I can use curl.
The pain is that there doesn't seem to be a way to retrieve the progress of
an FTP upload so I can display a custom upload box. If I redirect it to
dev/null, I get control back after the upload starts, but I can't get any
progress data:
curl -T filePath -u user:pass serverAdress> /dev/null 2>&1&
If I redirect to stdin, it's blocking and I only get anything when the
upload is complete:
curl -T filePath -u user:pass serverAdress> stdin
I've also tried:
curl -T filePath -u user:pass serverAdress> stdin&
curl -T filePath -u user:pass serverAdress> stdin 2>&1&
Is there any way to make a non-blocking call to curl, but then to get back
the progress text that would normally be displayed in the Terminal?
Any help would be appreciated...
