Handle whole file upload #3

Closed qwattash closed 10 years ago

qwattash commented 10 years ago

Hi,

I was trying to understand how to make the ChunkedUploadCompleteView handle a whole file upload as a last chunk, il could be useful to have a method called when the file upload is not chunked. I have seen that someone checks for existence of the HTTP_X_FILE_NAME header to distinguish between the two, but I don't know how clean this solution may be.

Thanks! Keep up the good work!

Hey @qwattash (sorry for the late response), Right now, the cleanest way I'd suggest would be to make a call to ChunkedUploadView with the whole whole file (i.e. Content-Range: bytes: 0-B/B+1, being B+1 the total bytes of the file), and right after that make a call to ChunkedUploadCompleteView. This would indicate that the file upload is ready.
