Re: LWP Upload a file with a progress indicator

[beauregard]

I've done a bit of work with this.. The basic idea is:

$HTTP::Request::Common::DYNAMIC_FILE_UPLOAD = 1;
my $req = make_http_request();
my $gen = $req->content();
die unless ref($gen) eq "CODE";

$req->content(
    sub {
        my $chunk = &$gen();
        print "." x (length($chunk)/1024) if defined $chunk;
        return $chunk;
    }
);
my $res = $ua->request($req);

This snippet will spit out a period for, more or less, each kilobyte uploaded. That's the theory. I've found that this isn't entirely reliable for every LWP implementation I've tried (not many, either).

Thanks, that's just the kind of thing I needed to get me going. The Flickr-Upload is pretty new, I'll have to check it out.

How can this acutally be used to resume a upload?
