Using jQuery file upload plugin from Blueimp, my users are uploading files directly from their browsers. Then comes IE8, where the upload plugin uses the hidden iframe method.
I would like to monitor the progress of the upload, however according to browser support of jQuery file upload plugin, this is not possible in IE8, BUT:
I was wondering if one of the following workarounds is possible?
a. The answer for question 2. defines the workaround to querying manually the upload progress, which I could be doing through my application server, however I did not found any option to look up the progress of a current multipart upload on aws-s3, (how) is this possible? If there is an aws-sdk snippet for that in ruby please include!
b. In the comments of question 1. @d33pika links HTML5 Rocks - Using CORS where it is stated that IE8+ is able to do XHR in his own way. Would it be possible to use that and monitor the progress? If it's an option I should be able to extend the plugin to use that option for IE8+ that gives me the feeling it's not possible, why wouldn't have been already implemented then?
