There is an issue that we have noticed through all versions of Image Uploader. The amount of bandwidth used by the component to upload is generally far less than the available bandwidth of the user. We created a similar component to Image Uploader in Java because we needed something for OS X. The upload speed for the same file in the same way is far superior.

Is there a restriction or problem with bandwidth usage when uploading files because of the POST format with Image Uploader?

As a better example, we have a T3 in two different locations. Using the Java component I get bandwidth usage of about 450KB/sec between T3's. Using Image Uploader I generally get 40KB/sec.

Thanks.

I wanted to clarify our setup. For uploading, the Image Uploader does not use a relative or absolute path. Our param for Action is similar to the following:

<PARAM NAME="Action" VALUE='http://server.domain.com'>

where server.domain.com is some other server devoted to accepting uploads (it is not part of the site where Image Uploader is presented).

Could the problem possibly be that the path is not local to the website? Or could there be a DNS lookup that is slowing this down? Would an IP address work better?

Thanks.

I don't think it is the reason as there is need in DNS lookup only once. We are checking the possible reason now.

Hello,

The reason of problem is in small buffer size during file transfer. We are working over it now and the fix will be included in Image Uploader 3.5.

This problem was described in Microsoft Knowledge Base: under Q329781.

Unfortunetely in Image Uploader 3.5 we have not resolved this problem.

Best regards,

Does the new Java component have the same limitation?

It seems Java component has not this limitation. ActiveX version use Internet Explorer transport level (in order to have the same context), that's why there is such problem. However we will continue to discover the workaround.

Did you complete the job concerning the problem of small buffer size during file transfer ?

I want to set the property of "SocketSendBufferLength" during file transfer.

Hello,

We have checked the ability to make the upload process faster, but there is too much code is to be written to implement this feature so fast upload feature has been moved to the far future plans.

Sincerely yours,

Alex Makhov

Alex,

Is it possible to have this increase of speed implemented as a custom job? If so, can you email me a quote for it to praxis@myeorganizer.com

Thank you,

A.

I think, yes, it is possible but it would take a lot of time (at least three weeks).

So if you are ready for it feel free to write to sales@aurigma.com.

Sincerely yours,

We plan to release Image Uploader 4.1 in August 2006 with improved upload speed.

It will support WinInet based upload and so way solves the problem with small buffer size in Internet Explorer.

We are currently using 3.5 with the dundas ASP uploader and experience slow uploading speeds. Is it possible that the ASP uploader component chosen can have an effect on the speed of the upload transfers? If so, does anyone know which ASP uploader would be the fastest?

Thanks for your reply!

Hello,

The main reason of general slow upload speed is client ActiveX control upload speed.

If you still believe the problem is in ASP script efficiency, try to upload data with Java version, which uploads data much faster now. The new version of ActiveX version will upload data even faster than Java one.

Sincerely yours,

Alex Makhov

Hi,

Thanks for your quick reply. I uploaded a 3MB image in both the java and activeX versions and the java version was 30 seconds whereas the activex was about 15 seconds. Java is slower than ActiveX? Here is a link to a test page I created to test upload. It uploads images with both activeX and java automatically depending on if you use IE or firefox. Note: since the page is only created to test upload, you won't see anything happen after the upload is complete, it's only meant to view the uploading time.

http://www.clickimage.com/events/testupload.asp#

Most of our customers use IE, but firefox(which uses java) is gaining in popularity. I'm completely open to changing from dundas to another asp upload component if I knew it would help in performance. And, I'll definately be upgrading to 4.1. Do you know the exact GA date? One other question. Does the image uploader support an ASP upload component where I can extract EXIF and IPTC data after the upload is complete?

Hello,

We have checked your site. Current version of Image Uploader for Java uploads data much faster because its Progress event is called not as often as it was in the version 1.1.02. You could try to update to Image Uploader for Java 2.0 to check its fast upload.

As about your IPTC/EXIF question, feel free to read about the following properties: ExtractExif and ExtractIptc.

Hello Alex. I'm going to wait until our migration to 4.1 before uploading the Java. I'm assuming that moving to the "DUAL" uploader that after uploading to 4.1 I'll have the right java version which has fast upload. Can you reference me to a page or something that I can monitor on when the 4.1 version will be available ?

Thanks a lot !

Hello,

You could upgrade to DUAL now and after Image Uploader for ActiveX 4.1 is released (it will be in September or November) the upgrade from 4.0 to 4.1 will be free.

Sincerely yours,

Alex Makhov

Did the small buffer size problem in Internet Explorer solve by the release on 4 Nov?

Where can I find the change log of Image Uploader between different versions?
