Upload Speed: desktop app slower than web

[MasonChang]

=== Masons' comments === I have only 2M bandwidth at home. I tested a 12M files, about 49 seconds to upload, and for finishing, 18s on desktop app, and 7 seconds on web. John (Zhong WU) has 10M bandwidth at home, I'll ask him to perform a test also, and I'll log a issue and take a look at it once V2 API migrated.

=== Customer Input === Hi,

As i once said before (in feedback page), using minus secure link (https://minus.com) upload takes more time to complete, than on non-secure. I even did a test on speeds:

• non-secure link, 100mb, chrome: 33 seconds. Upload speed ~3mb/s.
• secure link, same file, chrome: 13 minutes and 15 seconds. Upload speed ~120kb/s.
• desktop app, same file: 4 minutes and 7 seconds. Upload speed: ~400kb/s. + ~1min. "Finishing uploading".

I believe it's fixable and it would be amazing if desktop app would work as non-secure link (http://minus.com) does.

From Yejun:

That's probably due slow performance of /api/UploadItem.

/api/UploadItem_Web/ has better performance because it use nginx upload module directly.

If you want to use new uri for upload, please make sure it use www-url form encode for file or at least sent correct content-type and content-disposition http header in the request. Other parameters are same as old UploadItem.
