This forum is a community forum meant for users of the plugin to collaborate and help solve issues with implementation, etc. Unfortunately, as the creator of the plugin, I do not have much time to attend to every request here as this is only a side project and I must work a full-time job to provide for my family. This is how I keep the Flash version free and the HTML5 version low cost.
UploadiFive 1.1.1 has been released which includes a small fix for added support on touch devices including iOS 6 devices.
Six minute timeout in Firefox only
  • dmaltsiniotisdmaltsiniotis
    So here's a bizarre scenario: My upload script takes like, 10 minutes to process an upload (I know, don't ask.) When using uploadify and Firefox, after six minutes on the dot, uploadify seems to kill the request and report:

    SWF DEBUG: Event: uploadSuccess: File ID: SWFUpload_0_0 Response Received: true Data:

    This can't be since my upload script always returns data.

    When using IE however, it chugs along just fine until the the script finishes processing in about 10 minutes.

    This mysterious six minute cutoff only happens in firefox, and it starts as soon as the upload reaches 100%. It always results in Response Received: True Data: ""

    This is reproducible with a brand new empty Visual Studio MVC web project, and a bare-bones implementation of the latest version of Uploadify.

    Does anyone have any idea why in Firefox, I'm getting a premature response with empty data? I don't know if this is a FF issue, a Flash issue, or an Uploadify issue.

    I can supply the test visual studio project if anyone wants to take a look. It's a single upload method that just sits in a wait loop for six and a half minutes. Works in IE, doesn't work FF.

    Specs:
    Firefox 13.0.1
    Flash 12.2.202.235 (12.3 has some major with with FF right now)
    IE 9.0.8112.16421
    Uploadify.js: 3.1.1

    I should probably add: Files of all different sizes (small and REALLY LARGE) that don't take more than six minutes to process work as expected in FF and IE with response: true and data filled in.

    Further testing seems to indicate that it also times out after six minutes in Chrome.

    So now, Chrome and Firefox time out with a bogus response, but IE does not. Any ideas anyone? I've started to rip apart the respective components of Uploadify (swfupload, swfobject) trying to track this issue down.

    So after further investigation, this is an issue with the underlying SWFUpload component, and not uploadify directly. It only affects the plugin version of flash (Firefox/Chrome) and not the active x version (IE.)I suppose I should take my issue to the Adobe forms.
