Out Of Order Uploads.

Hi,

Could you explain your use case. Why do you need to keep the order ? (I am trying to understand why it should be usefull ?)

Thanks.

Hi Luc!

Users on our client side are able to customize the order of images taken before the application uploads them, and the API we're communicating with assumes the order in which it receives photos is the order set by the client.

Does that help?

Yes it helps, but you how do you handle parallelism ? How do you handle failure ? If one request fail, the plugin, will save the failure and proceed to the next one. You have to retry the upload, but it will arrive at the end... I would recommend to try to find another way of sending the order, and if the api is a vendor api to put a middleware in between.

That is why we do not preserve order. I hope it helps, let me know if you have questions.

This is good information, thank you very much.

Your recommendation is along the same lines as one option we had considered as well so we'll probably go with that: have a middleware service enforce the order.

Super easy to use plugin -- thanks for the time!
