Fineuploader taking too long to upload files in IE9 - fine-uploader

Hi I am using fineuploader 3.3.0 version.
I am facing problem with fineuploader in IE9. as fine uploader does not support sizeLimit in ie9.
I am checking the file size at server side with simple contentlength check if (this.Request.Files[0].ContentLength > 5242880).
but it took 1-2 mins to get this response. Also the 1.4 MB file is taking too long to upload.
Can some one please let me know what is causing it, following is the fineuploader code I am using:-
$('#restricted-fine-uploader').fineUploader({
request: {
endpoint: '/apm/api/job/UploadDocument/?category=' + JobDocuments.category + '&mode=' + JobDocuments.forceupload + '&jobid=' + job_manager_details.jobId
},
autoUpload: true,
text: {
uploadButton: 'Upload File'
},
multiple: false,
validation: {
allowedExtensions: ['doc', 'docx', 'xls', 'xlsx', 'pdf'],
sizeLimit: 5242880,
itemLimit: 1
},
showMessage: function (message) {
// Using Twitter Bootstrap's classes and jQuery selector and method
$('#restricted-fine-uploader').append('<div class="alert alert-error">' + message + '</div>');
}
}).bind('submit', function (event, id, fileName) {
$('#displaymessage').hide();
$('li. qq-upload-fail').hide();
job_manager_details.isuploading = 1;
// fileCount++;
}).bind('complete', function (event, id, fileName, responseJSON) {
$('li. qq-upload-fail').hide();
$('#displaymessage').hide();
job_manager_details.isuploading = 0;
if (responseJSON.success) {
// fileCount--;
ShowJobDocuments();
// if (fileCount == 0 && !$('div.alert-error').html()) {
$('#jobDocumentDialog').dialog("close");
// }
}
})

I just had the same issue and found one more clue.
The VM is incredibly slow (WinXP/IE8) while the network was a NAT'd but it became very fast as soon as it was switched to being bridged.

The speed of the upload should not be influenced by Fine Uploader in any noticeable way. All Fine Uploader does for non File API browsers, such as IE9 and older, is submit a <form> containing the file and related parameters. If you are noticing slow upload times, most likely something in your environment is the cause of the issue. You haven't provided any additional information about your environment, so I can't offer any advice on that front.
As you may already know, file size checking is not possible client-side in IE9 and earlier due to lack of File API support.

Memory leaks in Appcelerator Android HTTP?

I am running into what looks like a memory leak on Android using Appcelerator. I am making an HTTP GET call repeatedly until all data is loaded. This call happens about 50 times, for a total of roughly 40 MB of JSON. I am seeing the memory usage spike dramatically if this is executed. If I execute these GETs the heap size (as reported by Android Device Monitor, the preferred method to check memory according to the official Appcelerator docs) gets up to ~240 MB and stays there for as long as the app runs. If I do not execute these GETs, it only uses about 50 MB. I don't think this is a false heap reading either, because if I execute the GETs again (from page 1) I run out of memory.
I have looked through the code and cannot find any obvious leaks, such as storing all results in a global variable or something. Are the HTTP responses being cached somewhere?
Here is my code, for reference. syncThings(1, 20) (sanitized name :) ) gets called during startup. It in turn calls a helper function syncDocuments(). Here are the two functions. Don't worry about launchMainWindow() unless you think it could be relevant, but assume it does no cleanup.
function syncThings(page, itemsPerPage) {
var url = "the_url";
console.log("Getting page " + page);
syncDocuments(url,
function(response) {
if (response.totalDocumentsInQuery == itemsPerPage) {
// More pages to get
setTimeout(function() {
syncThings(page + 1, itemsPerPage);
}, 1);
} else {
// This was the last page
launchMainWindow();
}
},
function(e) {
Ti.API.error('Default error callback called for syncThings;', e);
dispatcher.trigger('app:update:stop');
});
}
function syncDocuments(url, successCallback, errorCallback) {
new HTTPRequest({
url: url,
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
timeout: 30000,
success: function (response) {
Ti.API.info('Success callback called for ' + url);
successCallback(response);
},
error: function (error) {
errorCallback(error);
}
}).send();
}
Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong here?
Edit: I am using Titanium SDK 6.0.1.GA. This happens on all Android versions.
Try using the file-property of the HTTPClient: http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/api/Titanium.Network.HTTPClient-property-file
otherwise the file will be loaded into memory.
There will be a memory leak fix in 6.1.0: https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/pull/8818 that might fix something too.

Backbone.js collection fetch request missing data parameter in IE9

So, I've used Backbone.js to write a messaging system. It works fine in Chrome and FF but IE9 has issues with a particular fetch call that kills it. (I'm working in MVC3).
I have a poll that checks for new messages coming in, which sends the date to the server. The poll is called with this method:
DoMessageFetch = function() {
var now = new Date().toUTCString();
Chat.mymessages.fetch({
cache: false,
data: {
Now: now
},
success: function (response) {
// if there are messages ...
// for each message, open a chat window
if (Chat.mymessages.length > 0) {
for (var i = 0; i < Chat.mymessages.length; i++) {
var useridto = Chat.mymessages.at(i).get("UserId");
var name = Chat.mymessages.at(i).get("ScreenName");
// a chat-window with this useridto is NOT on the page
if (!($('#chat-window-' + useridto).is(':visible'))) {
Chat.doChatMessageFetch(name, useridto, null); // this constructs a Backbone view
}
}
}
},
error: function () { console.log('ERROR: fetching general poll messages failed.'); }
});
Chat.mymessages.reset();
}
In IE9 the Now param is null when I watch breakpoints in my Controller. This means the request follows the wrong code path on the server...
I don't understand where my Now parameter went in IE. Can any one help?
This problem is due to the different behaviour of
new Date().toUTCString()
between IE , Google Chrome and Firefox.
For example the result in Chrome is :
"Thu, 20 Sep 2012 20:19:15 GMT"
while in IE you will get
"Thu, 20 Sep 2012 20:19:15 UTC"
MVC3 ModelBinder will ignore IE Format and leave your Now parameter null.The solution to this problem is to replace
new Date().toUTCString()
with
new Date().toJSON()
The only thing to note with this solution is that it will not work by default on IE7 due to the lack of the toJSON() function but this problem can be solved using Douglas Crockford json2.js library which is also recommended when using Backbone.js

Custom ajaxTransport function without specified dataType is not firing (AT ALL!)

I have been trying to setup custom ajaxTransports for jQuery to short-circuit some workflows in certain scenarios for our product. However, I have had zero success in getting these transports to be honored (whereas I have many working custom ajaxPrefilters).
Tested with multiple versions of jQuery:
1.5.2
1.6.4
1.7.2
1.8.0
Tested with multiple browsers:
Firefox 15
Chrome 21
iOS 5 webviews
...
None of them worked.
JsFiddle test case: http://jsfiddle.net/PVYut/
...
If I add a dataType to narrow it down, then it works fine.
JsFiddle test case: http://jsfiddle.net/PVYut/1/

Am I just doing something all wrong? I'd be happy to be told so, so long as I can get this working! -_-
$.ajaxTransport("+*", function(options, originalOptions, jqXHR, headers, completeCallback ) {
console.log("Executing ajaxTransport");
return {
send: function( headers, completeCallback ) {
completeCallback(404, "error", {});
},
abort: function() {
/* abort code */
}
}
});
$.ajax("?jqTrans=" + (+(new Date())))
.done(function() {
console.log("ERROR: Should not have been successful!");
})
.fail(function() {
console.log("SUCCESS: Should have failed.");
});

request.xhr undefined in Ext JS

my web site is made using Ext JS 4.1 framework and ASP .Net MVC v3. When new frame is rendered there are 19 separate AJAX requests for retrieving data in JSON-format. All requests are familiar and made by Ext.Ajax.request(). Example:
Ext.Ajax.request({
url: getOrderLink,
method: "GET",
params: { recId: orderRecId },
headers: {
'Accept': 'application/json'
},
success: function (response) {
var order = Ext.decode(response.responseText);
...
}
});
In some cases there are errors in ext-all.js in
onStateChange : function(request) {
if (request.xhr.readyState == 4) {
this.clearTimeout(request);
this.onComplete(request);
this.cleanup(request);
}
},
where request has no property xhr so that request.xhr.readyState throws exception "Cannot read property 'readState' of undefined".
This errors appear not for all requests and don't effect site work(responses are retrieved successfully). Some times this errors don't appear at all. Timeout for all requests is set to 30s by default and they take about 1.5-2 seconds each.
I am using Google Chrome 21.
Could you please give me some idea why it's happening.
The problem seems to occur if and only if you have a breakpoint or a "debugger;" line in anything related to AJAX. For me it happened in Chrome, haven't tried other browsers yet.
In my case it happened when I had set a breakpoint in a load event handler for a store like code example below.
But the error occurrs if you set a breakpoint inside the Ext onStateChange function in the framework itself as well.
If disabling your breakpoints and debugger; calls removes the error you can safely ignore it!
There is a similar thread on ExtJS forums. Sencha might add a fix.
Ext.define('MyApp.controller.MyController', {
extend: 'Ext.app.Controller',
stores: ['Projects'],
init: function () {
this.getProjectsStore().addListener(
"load",
this.onProjectsStoreLoaded,
this
);
},
onProjectsStoreLoaded: function () {
console.log('MyController: onProjectsStoreLoaded');
debugger; // <- this causes the errors to appear in the console
SomeOtherThingsIWantedToDebug();
}
}

Chrome gives "XMLHttpRequest Exception 101" in some cases when doing an Ajax request

I have a JavaScript application that works like this:
Uploads a file, receives the uploaded file ID as a response
This is done using the BlueImp uploader
Uses the file ID to refer to the file in subsequent requests, in this case to receive a preview of the uploaded file.
This is the code for the file upload 'complete' handler. It's originally written in Coffee Script (http://pastebin.com/708Cf9tu).
var completeHandler = function(e, data) {
var url;
if (data.textStatus !== 'success') {
alert("Noe gikk galt. Debug informasjon er logget i konsollen");
console.group('Upload failure');
console.error(data.textStatus);
console.error(data.result);
console.groupEnd('Upload failure');
selectButton.removeClass('disabled');
uploadButton.removeClass('disabled loading');
uploadButton.html('Last opp');
return;
}
self.fileUploadResponse = data.result;
url = "" + config.api_root + "/" + config.api_path_tabulardatafilepreview;
return $.ajax(url, {
type: 'POST',
dataType: 'json',
async: false,
data: {
'file_handle': data.result.file_handle,
'rownum': 5
},
complete: function(req, text_status) {
if (text_status !== 'success') {
alert("Noe gikk galt. Debug informasjon er logget " + "i konsollen");
console.group('Failed to receive data file preview');
console.log(text_status);
console.log(req.responseText);
console.log(req);
console.groupEnd('Failed to receive data file preview');
selectButton.removeClass('disabled');
uploadButton.removeClass('disabled loading');
uploadButton.html('Last opp');
}
self.previewData = JSON.parse(req.responseText);
return self.setStage(2);
}
});
};
This works brilliantly in FireFox, but in Chrome I just started to get an error in the second jQuery Ajax request. It now returns with status "error", with no responseText and with statusText set to "Error: NETWORK_ERR: XMLHttpRequest Exception 101". Though this doesn't happen in all cases. The uploaded file doesn't seem to have anything to do with the issue, because a 10KB csv file works, a 120KB xlsx file fails but a 1.2MB xlsx works. Additionally it's the second Ajax request that fails, and it doesn't do anything but send two small integers to the server. Why does that fail!?
Also this just started happening today. I haven't changed anything that I know of, and I have not updated Chrome.
Does anyone have a clue as to why Chrome is doing this? Can it have anything to do with an Ajax request being launched in the complete handler of a previous Ajax request?
Thanks for any guesses that can help me solve this
Turns out it's a bad idea to start lengthy processes inside Ajax event handlers. In my case, starting a new synchronous Ajax request in the event handler was the mistake. I have since made both requests asynchronous and separated the code into neat functions, and I'm no longer bothered by the exception.
