303438 - Bugzilla should allow upload of a whole directory (multi-file upload)

Status: NEW

(Bugzilla :: Attachments & Requests, enhancement)

Description

[Brian 'netdragon' Bober]

Bugzilla should allow you to upload a whole directory, for instance an html,
css, and js that go together. The way this could be done is a special checkbox
you can click to have a tarball expanded upon upload. Then the directory would
be shown as an attachment, instead of the file. 

For security and multi-webserver support, clicking on that attachment would show
a Bugzilla-generated file list with hypertext so you can see each file
individually. 

Subdirectories should also be allowed.

The attachments names could be something like:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachdirs/attachment4000 [review]/file.bar

A use case for this is I have a "save as.." bug I want to file, that has some
additional files that go with it. I know we could attach a tarball, but for web
content, it'd be much easier for people looking at the testcases if they could
just click on an html attachment and the other media were with it.

I'd like to see this as well, the ability to add an untarred set of html
attachments so that one could browse/test a sample html without having to
download/untar.

Probably depends on bug 278469.
