tl;dr Forth is a programming language from the 1970s. This is the canonical book, published by someone who works at Forth Inc. (as K&R is to C) Forth is interesting, not because of widespread usage, but because it has a different way of

Hmm. Thanks for reporting. Mind creating a github issue with a screenshot? https://github.com/Filepicker/codeblock.js/issues Or if you elaborate more here, I'll create the ticket for you.

Duplicated. Not sure why. Will have to do some more digging but created a github issue for it. https://github.com/Filepicker/codeblock.js/issues/1

Hi there, Filepicker here. Thanks for the compliment. Regarding the url not showing up immediately: We've been working hard to keep the system scaling and performant. One of those things is to have read slaves and you seem to have beaten ou

Super cool use of filepicker.io

Yeah. I had hoped to scope the conversation down to authentication quickly, because, yes, security means a lot of things. I clearly didn't do that well. You distinguish between "knowing, doing, or owning" and "something you know, something

Correct. I was not careful enough with all the steps of my logic here. Being able to encrypt the message proves that the party knows the secret, which if they are the only one who knows it, proves that they are who they say they are. Indeed

Hi Jerome. Thanks for the kind words. In regards to your concern, the way we imagine this playing out is that in your app, the client asks to upload something. You use an ajax request to ask your server, with your cookies, if this is allowe

Founder here. We're excited to be able to begin offering security on Filepicker. Security in Javascript is hard because most of the possibilities (window.location, referrers) are easily bypassed. We've built this system based on a shared se

Actually, I don't know of a single ie8 frame communication library. Most are part of bigger libraries and we were trying to keep things slim.

Thanks. The support of the community is really encouraging and keeps us going. Always be shipping. :D

Accurate. Also, the free plan is very generous at the moment as we want to reward our earliest users. A small tier might make a lot of sense later on.

Should be pretty straightforward. If it's not, shoot me an email and tell me where I messed up ;D getFile is now replaced by the more explicit calls: pick and store. If you're using the widget, data-fp-extension is now available.

No reason why not. Give it a spin and let us know how it goes. Also happy to help if you run into issues.

There are some files where it is not possible to write back. Local files is a good example of this. We throw a 409 HTTP error for files like that. You can of course write to the s3 copy.

by liyanchang 14y ago
Hi there. Currently S3 is the only support backend storage. More are on the way. We take requests from customers seriously and so far we've heard rackspace, google, and dropbox. Feel free to send me an email at liyan@filepicker.io with your

One of the founders, just wanted to reply and say, yes, you are entirely right. We put up that endpoint for a separate purpose, didn't expect people to find it (underestimating people is clearly a bad strategy) and will be locking it down t

That's a good idea. We had been working under the assumption that you would want to change limits often, but I can see how a per-apikey cap would prevent gross abuse.

Hi there. Looking through server logs and all services look a-okay. Feel free to send me an email at liyan@filepicker.io and we can keep digging.

We enforce both the filetype and size limits on the server side. We have some hostname verification and we also also adding in secret keys to sign requests so we can be even more sure. We also have some checks that look for abnormal upload
