Using nginx file upload module

Hi Diego,

We have it working.
But without any special registered upload application that handles the callback. The callbacks get called just like they always did before when serializing a form. Are you sure you need a component to be registered under /upload? (see below and my previous email). We also do it without javascript, but that's probably only because we do not use the progress indicator module.

As I said in my previous email, what went wrong in our config is that we made the upload go to a location called '/upload' instead of merely adding 'upload' at the end of the action url that is created by seaside. This works perfectly because seaside will just disregard that part of the url path that comes after the application name. In Nick's config, it's not necessary to add it at the end of the path because he has the app registered at the '/' location.

Thanks to the three of you for sending me code and nginx configs. It definitely set us on the right track.

I already mailed the current state to Johan, but it was made during our stay at SPA (London), and I did not had tested the package I made. Also the configuration was mailed seperatedly. So Johan, I like to hear wether it worked on your side. You can Skype Stephan tomorrow and me on Monday if you want some assistance.

Great post Nick!

(minor niggle: you refer to step 3 as the "final step" in the first paragraph of that page)

Hi,

Somewhat belatedly I've finally got round to documenting and extracting the Nginx file upload and progress component and configuration I use:

Feedback always appreciated. If you experiment with the embedded upload components (an interactive blog!) , be gentle I'm running on a free EC2 micro-instance: http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/#instance
