Abstract

Methods and systems for a client computing device are provided, including a browser rendering a web page, program code generating a simulated upload event and corresponding simulated data transfer objects for uploading data using the web page. The simulated upload event and corresponding simulated data transfer object are propagated to the upload event listener of the web page and executed. Before generating the simulated upload event and the corresponding simulated data transfer object, the embedded upload event listener may receive the upload event, read the upload event, discard the received upload event from the event processing pipeline, and synchronously or asynchronously invoke code to execute logic on the received upload event for simulating the generation of the upload event and the corresponding simulated data transfer object.

Description

File upload modification for client applications RELATED APPLICATIONS The application is a divisional application of an application patent application with the application number 202180038840.5 and the application name of file uploading modification of a client application. Background Web pages presented in browser interfaces often provide interactive components, such as drag and drop mechanisms and/or dialog boxes, that enable a user to select a file or directory to upload to a remote system, such as a server. For example, when a user drags a file or directory into a drop-down box component in a web page, software on the client device receives the upload event and dispatches the event to the event handler to retrieve the file (or list of files in the directory) and transmits the file to a determined remote system. The upload event propagates without modification. In addition, when multiple files are uploaded in one event, the system either transmits all files or refuses to upload all files. Still further, all files of an upload event triggered by dragging a file directory into a drop-down box are uploaded. Disclosure of Invention This abstract is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the detailed description. This abstract is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used to limit the scope of the claimed subject matter. Methods and systems are provided in a client computing device that are capable of modifying an upload event prior to actually uploading. In one aspect, a client computing device includes a system including a browser, an analog upload event generator, a dispatcher, and an event handler. The browser is configured to present a web page. The simulated upload event generator comprises program code configured to generate a simulated upload event and a corresponding simulated data transfer object for uploading data using a web page. The program code is configured to execute in a client computing device. The dispatcher is configured to propagate the simulated upload event and the corresponding simulated data transfer object to an upload event listener of the web page. The event handler is configured to perform an analog upload event. In some embodiments, the client computing device includes an embedded upload event listener. Before the simulated upload event generator generates the simulated upload event and the simulated data transfer object, the embedded upload event listener is configured to intercept the received upload event, read the received upload event, discard the received upload event from the upload event handler pipeline, and invoke code to execute logic on the received upload event.
