[Feature Request] Option to split zip into multiple parts with maximum size #5

Open tyilo opened 13 years ago

tyilo commented 13 years ago

The current URL lenght limit in chrome is 2097152 characters. So if you create a larger zip-file than that and try to download it, the chrome tab will crash. However if you would be able to split the zip into multiple parts with a maximum character size of (2097152 - 28 (length of "data:application/zip;base64,") you could download all the parts using window.open

This is a pretty good idea, as I can see how zipping canvas/pngs will get bigger than 2mb. If I get some spare time I'll look into implementing this

Note to self: see section K of http://www.pkware.com/documents/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT for implementation details

Was there a solution to this?

I am facing the same issue. I have file zipped that I need to set for downloading. I am using the following code: document.getElementById(elementId).href = "data:application/zip;base64,"+content; where content is the zipped file. Since the file size is more than 2 MB, the tab crashes. Is there an alternative way to do this?

Solution is to use URL.createObjectURL(blob) or StreamSaver.js

base64 is the worst

And I wouldn't want to prompt the users with more then 1 save dialog. So this is to me a bad idea but still necessary if you using a FAT32 where the filesize can not be larger then 4gb
