Bug 51043 – [Qt] Experimental Directory Upload Support

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: INVALID
• Component: Platform

[Jarred Nicholls]

Implement the experimental directory upload support in QtWebKit, just in anticipation of becoming standard.  Chromium port implements this.

Should be as simple as adding to ChromeClientQt::runOpenPanel inside #if ENABLE(DIRECTORY_UPLOAD)

Jarred, do you have the intention of working on this?

Which specification define this feature? I cannot find it in the main spec of HTML 5 neither the file API.

I set priority 5 for now because I don't know which spec and we have nobody to work on this now.

That, and enabling all the layout test on Qt.

Yes, in due time.

This is an experimental API started by Google and "supported" by WHATWG to "give it a shot".  It is not a part of an official HTML5 spec, but could be in the future.  I don't expect anyone to work on this other than myself :)

No problem, you can even assign it to me if you wish.

Naturally

Great :)

This will require new APIs, I suggest you to use QWebPage::extension() for this. It would be nice if you could also have a look at how to have that for Qt's WebKit 2.

I guess the API will be experimental until a spec is well defined. We can discuss that when you have a proposition for the new API.
