#Safari Upload Issue
tldr: Safari on OSX has an issue that causes uploads to silently fail. We implemented a workaround in EvaporateJS.
###The Issue At videopixie we use EvaporateJS to upload a lot large files (20GB+) directly to AWS S3, and we do lots of logging to make sure it's all running smooth.
We started to see an increase in failed uploads. The logs revealed a few interesting things:
- The failures were occurring when the progress of an XMLHttpRequest (xhr) was silently stalling.
