(Ruby) Bandwidth Throttled Asynchronous HTTP Upload

Demonstrates how to do an HTTP upload asynchronously in a background thread with limiting the rate to an approximate number of bytes/second. The only difference between this example and one without bandwidth throttling is that the BandwidthThrottleUp property is set.

Chilkat Ruby Downloads install from rubygems.org gem install chilkat or download... Ruby Library for Windows, MacOS, Linux, Alpine Linux

require 'chilkat'

upload = Chilkat::CkUpload.new()

# Specify the page (ASP, ASP.NET, Perl, Python, Ruby, CGI, etc)
# that will process the HTTP Upload.
upload.put_Hostname("www.mywebserver.com")
upload.put_Path("/receiveUpload.aspx")

# Add one or more files to be uploaded.
upload.AddFileReference("file1","dude.gif")
upload.AddFileReference("file2","pigs.xml")
upload.AddFileReference("file3","sample.doc")

# Set the BandwidthThrottleUp property to throttle to approx 64K/second
upload.put_BandwidthThrottleUp(65536)

# Begin the HTTP upload in a background thread:
success = upload.BeginUpload()
if (success != true)
    print upload.lastErrorText() + "\n";
else
    print "Upload started..." + "\n";
end

# Wait for the upload to finish.
# Print the progress as we wait...
while (upload.get_UploadInProgress() == true)
    # We can abort the upload at any point by calling:
    # upload.AbortUpload();

    # Display the percentage complete and the number of bytes uploaded so far..
    # The total upload size will become set after the upload begins:
    print upload.get_PercentUploaded().to_s() + "% " + upload.get_NumBytesSent().to_s() + "/" + upload.get_TotalUploadSize().to_s() + "\n";

    # Sleep 2/10ths of a second.
    upload.SleepMs(200)

end

# Did the upload succeed?
if (upload.get_UploadSuccess() == true)
    print "Files uploaded!" + "\n";
else
    print upload.lastErrorText() + "\n";
