I recommend you writing notes using markdown format, which could be automatically rendered as HTML format.

I just figure out what I should do. I need to change the php server "Jquery-file-upload" provided to a new server side with "tornado" framework. Big file upload uses post method with "Content-Type: multipart/form-data". Luckily, it is well-supported by tornado.

Maybe implementing the backend in tornado is more complex.

You can use one apache/php server for all users. The server puts every file to the correct user's directory. In this way, you just need to pass username to server from browser and then the server gets the username and puts the file in the right path.

But maybe implementing the backend in tornado is not so complex. I noticed there is a GAE python example of backend in source code. And it is not complex. So this method is also ok.

Which way ? Up to you.

Go ahead.

I prefer using tornado.
The problem of using Apache server is that we have to set up the server just for file uploading. However, the other functions, like downloading, previewing, are all supported by tornado. That will confuse developers and administrators.
If uploading function is provided by tornado, then we do not have to bother setting up a third apache server.

Today, I have implemented the basic Multi-Blob upload function in tornado server side,

In this version, the upload file is saved in current directory, and the response of POST is incorrect.
