Identifying Upload file at status : connect?

Post by MaC-GyVer » 2004-07-25 07:22

Hi, again :)

This time, I am wondering if it is possible to identify the file a user is requesting at the status connect ? My plan is to check if it is for example a picture. A picture does not demand alot of connection speed to be transfered, so it will be something like :

Code: Select all

if(rquestedfile==picture) {
open upload slot } else { do nothing }
So would this be possible, or do you have to do it the hard way ? (wait until the connection is established and then decide to let it continuo or disconnect ?)

Thanks for the help!

The place where "free" files are decided is in UploadManager::prepareFile().

Yes, you could do something very similar.

I do have a 14mb jpeg in my share:
