I would like to upload a file using JQuery-File-Upload, but using HTTP "PUT" instead of multipart-forms. According to their site:
- Multipart and file contents stream uploads:
Files can be uploaded as standard "multipart/form-data" or file contents stream (HTTP PUT file upload).
but I cannot find anywhere in their documentation as to how to do this. Can anyone help?
According to : https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload/wiki/Options
method
The method of the HTTP request used to
send the file(s) to the server. Can be
POST (multipart/formdata file upload)
or PUT (streaming file upload).
Accepts a String or a function
returning a String.
You should use :
$('#file_upload').fileUpload({
namespace: 'file_upload_1',
url: '/path/to/upload/handler.json',
method: 'PUT'
});
I love REST too but you might want to make sure you unit test well on the browsers you need to support.
http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/
The type of request to make ("POST" or "GET"), default is "GET". Note: Other HTTP request methods, such as PUT and DELETE, can also be used here, but they may not supported by older browsers.
