It would be nice if the browser could display the progress when its uploading a
file.  Right now all you get is a barber pole when the browser knows how much
information its sending.  I'm thinking about upload forms used on sites such as
geocities to send files.
This might have the side effect of displaying the upload status when using forms
in general, which I don't really thing would be a bad thing.

The reason I ask for this is sometimes people think that the browser has "stuck"
and they hit the reload button - sending the file again (And the server
recieves a useless file).

This would be something implemented by xpapps. The widget is certainly capable
of it.

I have the same problem. Also verified on Debian GNU/Linux. Try
http://osiris.978.org/~brianr/ul/ for a demo - there should be a status bar,
since the browser knows how much data
it's uploading but instead there's a useless barber pole that continues to move
even when the
upload is stalled. 
Move to M21 target milestone.

inappropriate.  I just thought you might like to keep an eye on it.

I don't think this depends on progress windows, because it would make more 
sense to implement this using the progress bar in the browser window.
No longer depends on: 67161

probably not going to make it for mozilla1.0, though this would be a really nice
feature to have.
