Alexander Klimetschek commented on SLING-2707:
----------------------------------------------

Came across this open source project / effort to "fix file uploading": http://felixge.de/2013/03/27/lets-fix-file-uploading.html

They want to use the Content-Range header with POST and PUT ( http://www.tus.io/docs/http-protocol.html ) and have a html5/javascript client ( https://github.com/tus/tus-html5-client ).

> Use cases: 
> 1. Large file upload - With high speed internet connections, advent of cloud and HD going mainstream, Sling should support large files (> 2GB) upload.
> 2. Fault tolerant uploads - Sling should provide capability to resume upload from failure point. It should not require client to restart the complete upload process. 
> 3. Faster upload: Sling should support its clients to initiate multiple connection and upload file chunks in parallel.
