Title:
[FFe] file upload implementation in browser and webapps container
Status in “webbrowser-app” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
This bug is to request a feature freeze exception in order to land the
work done to enable file upload functionality in webbrowser-app and
webapp-container, both on desktop and on touch devices.
The relevant merge request is https://code.launchpad.net/~michael-
sheldon/webbrowser-app/file-upload/+merge/212605.
It builds upon the work recently done in oxide to enable a filePicker
API (available as of oxide-qt 1.0.0~bzr490-0ubuntu1).
With this change, the app provides a dialog that allows content
picking for <input type="file"> tags in HTML pages. The dialog is
different based on the form factor: on desktop (unity7), a standard
file picker is displayed, whereas on devices (unity8) the content hub
API is leveraged.
This change is required to enable web applications to upload files.
Some of the default webapps need this capability to be used properly
(e.g. attach a file to an e-mail in the GMail webapp, or send a
picture in the Facebook webapp).
The change itself is rather non-intrusive and has been thoroughly
tested, so the risk of introducing any sort of regressions is low.
