My question now is: why so complicated? Why do users
first have to zip
their files? I am curious why nobody ever came to the idea (or why
nobody ever mentioned it on this list) of giving multiple
browse-buttons on the upload page, so users can directly upload
multiple files just via browsing instead of zipping them first. Or is
there some problem with that?
No-one's implemented it. I expect the reason that several of the
implementations require the files to be archived and compressed is so
that the size of the file being uploaded is smaller, and thus the
request is shorter.
