If I remember correctly, you can stream uploads directly to S3, which bypasses GAE and avoids any timeout. So from GAE, at request time, you ask S3 for a unique upload url, then POST the form data directly to that S3 url. When the upload is completed, you can have S3 redirect the user to a url on your site that you specify. (This is the same way the YouTube browser upload API works). Also note that GAE should be releasing large file support soon, which should work similarly to S3. Robin On Jul 9, 3:55 pm, mdipierro <mdipie...@cs.depaul.edu> wrote: > I agree.
