Summary: Use HTML 5 File API to apply file size limits prior to
upload
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.17-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Uploading
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Current versions of Firefox, Chrome, and Safari support at least a portion of
the HTML 5 File API. Among other things, this allows getting at metadata about
files that have been selected in an <input type="file"> widget such as the file
size and type.
Type information isn't entirely reliable as type detection & extension maps may
vary between client and server, but size should be pretty good!
This will allow us to check the file size on selection and tell the user that
it ain't gonna fit in our upload size limits before they submit the form.
