dojox.form.FileUploader standard behavior for additionalParams

[Josh Trutwin]

When using a flash uploader, non-standard return params from the server are put in dataArray[i].additionalParams - this is not the case in an HTML uploader.

Email convo from Mike Wilcox regarding this:

Ah, I follow now. I made that change in the AS3 when I did the big refactor. I have no idea why I did it, but obviously didn't copy this over to the html uploader.

Thanks for finding this. It would be awesome if you made a note in the docs and made a ticket for me - I should fix that.

Say if I set these params in UploadFile?.php:

for flash:

$data = 'file='.$file ..... ',foo='.$bar;

for HTML:

$postdatafoo? = $bar;

In the return for flash-based I need to intercept foo param this way:

foo = dataArray[i].additionalParams.foo;

In html though I need to do this:

foo = dataArray[i].foo;

I *could* manually create $postdataadditionalParams?foo? before json-encoding it I guess but that makes the server-side code messier

• I guess it's just something to be aware of...

(In [21403]) Fixed #10576 - Fixed UploadFile?.php so that HTML returns postdata in the additionalParams object as Flash does.

Also updated the docs to explain the additionalParams object.
