Description Damir Perisa 2007-01-17 23:54:04 UTC 
Version:           3.5.5 (using KDE 3.5.5, Arch Linux)
Compiler:          Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.19-ARCH

thousands of websites are built so that one can upload a file... using the HTTP POST. 

HTTP form POST requests to server done by konqueror have no indication of progress to the user. the only indication you have that a transfer (sending the request) is going on is that in the toolbar, the kde symbol is turning.

in addition it should be very usefull, to have in the status bar a progress bar that indicates how big the data to be sent is and how much of it is already sent. this way the user will know +/- how much it will take.

no other browser is offering this, as far i know. implementation should not be too difficult, because the amount of data to be sent in the request is known to konqueror.
Comment 1 Damir Perisa 2007-01-17 23:56:02 UTC 
one can even think about two progress bars:

one that goes from left to right indicating the status of requests to server

one that goes from right to left indicating the status of replies from servers

so while surfing, it would look like a ping-pong bar
