Re-upload from last valid chunk? about resumable.js HOT 4 CLOSED

@davidchase, there's no such concept at the moment -- although I can see a hypothetical use for it. One question to answer is this: Which use case would have you rewinding a subset of chunks rather than rerunning the entire upload? (I'm asking mainly because the current model already allows for validation of the full file and individual chunks.)

@steffentchr Thanks for the quick reply, the project we are currently working to upload videos lets say we have a 100 chunks and 1-49 uploaded fine but chunk 50 was bad on the server side so it tells the front-end hold up re-upload the bad chunk and then if all is well continue on with 51-100... im trying to figure how can we accomplish that method... hopefully it makes sense

@davidchase Alright; I'll close this issue for now -- but feel free to throw in thoughts and reopen. It's an interesting idea, so something to consider and pursue.

@steffentchr couldnt this concept be attained perhaps by getting how many bytes have been already uploaded and then using that as a starting point to re-upload from that chunk instead the whole file?

So the server sends an error message and file size, we capture the event on a chunk fail and using the number of bytes already uploaded resume only partial uploading of the file... granted the file is already uploaded
