Re: auto-zip on upload

I don't think you'll have much luck doing dynamic zipping on the upload side, browsers don't give you much control over file inputs, for security reasons.  You could write an applet that does this, where you drag a file or directory onto the applet, which zips it and sends it to a DirectAction or something.

Server-side affair will be to decompress incoming zip file. 
java.util.zip package will help with that task.

I've implemented unzipOnTheFly upload behavior on my app. If you need it - I may send you reusable component, I made.

I’ve created a few pages that use the file upload feature.  It works great, I have no problems, but I’d like to make it better if I can.

 

Is it possible to zip the file as it is being sent up to the server?  Sometimes the files are quite large, and most users do not have the same bandwidth UP as they do DOWN.

 

Has this already been done, or is this just wishful thinking?
