Resumable file uploads

March 28th, 2009

I have a pretty fun little resumable file uploader, I wrote using google gears and a tiny ruby rack file.  It’s possible to put this uploader behind an nginx or apache and share a session .   It  can upload multiple files and keep track of the progress of each file.  Uploads can be paused and resumed.   This works because the files are split into chunks and uploaded 1 meg at a time.    The source is here:  http://github.com/taf2/resume-up/tree/master

Here’s a fun screen shot of it in action:
