JQuery File Upload – Multiple File Upload Plugin for jQuery

The application page: http://aquantum-demo.appspot.com/file-upload

this blog is sketchy, flooded with ads and obviously trying to drive traffic to it. Why not just post the github link?

The setup for this plugin is too complicated. See:

https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload/wiki/Setup

I think the API and abstraction should be better thought out to be just 1 js file include instead.

Other comments:

Good use of FileData and multipart builder for handling multiple browsers. However I thought Firefox also supported sending files with FileData() object, so why is xhr.sendAsBinary necessary? As far as I know, xhr.sendAsBinary is not in the w3 draft and is being deprecated by Firefox, as it's a FF proprietary method. Perhaps that part of the code could be removed?

Even though MSIE and Opera have no support for Drag & Drop, multiple file selection or upload progress indication, I'm really pleased to see such a well thought-out file upload plugin that doesn't require the use of Flash.
