$http upload file progress in AngularJS

Question

How can I get a \'progress\' event from my AngularJS $http POST request that is uploading an image? Is it possible to do this client-side, or do I need the server to report

Answer 1

I don't think $http.post() can be used for this.

As for client-side, it should work with an HTML5 browser, but you'll probably have to create your own XMLHttpRequest object and onprogress listener. See AngularJS: tracking status of each file being uploaded simultaneously for ideas.
