File extension after upload #15

Hi, I tested your app, using your demo, and when the download finishes the file extension keeps as ".part". Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for this product!

Hey @fiusuki, So the way django-chunked-upload works is it creates a file called <upload_id>.part, and it uses it to append the chunks you send on each request. Once you finish uploading all the chunks and send the /complete request, the on_completionmethod will be called, and the uploaded file will be passed as a parameter. In this method is where you'd implement whatever logic you want to do with that file. Could be store it somewhere in your media folder, associate it to a model's instance, open the file and analyze/parse it, etc. That's entirely up to you. In the demo, the on_completion method is not doing anything, that's why you only see the .part file. I hope that answers your question :)
