Upload to s3 about resumable.js

[steffentchr]

Awesome -- really looking forward to seeing how S3 fits into the picture. It's something that a lot of people have been wondering about and asking for.

@garjitech Any update on the S3 pull request?

[edu2004eu]

@roundrobin looks like we got to the same place :) Resumable.js looks good, but without S3 support it's not right for us.

You guys are more than welcome to contribute ;-)

It's a bit esoteric to include support for a specific service like S3 in a JS lib that's designed to be generic, http and all of that -- but I do see the potential, even if I'm not using S3 for anything myself at the moment.

Well, I don't think anyone is advocating changing Resumable to work specifically with S3. Rather, I think people are looking for samples of using Resumable with S3--uploading chunks according to S3 specs, generating the signatures without a serverside component, etc. As you say, there is great potential.

[steffentchr]

From how I read the S3 docs, it's kinda the same thing: In order to upload chunks according to the specs, Resumable would need to be changed. I don't disagree that there's great potential -- only that it's a different potential to the mission of this particular project.

If anyone has taken up this specific problem though, I'm happy to reference it in docs etc.
