(Archived) Direct photo upload?

[dvdmon 0]

I'm a bit wary of doing photo uploads at the moment due to not (yet) having a premium account and no way to make anything but the original (~ 1MB) file to be sent.

But anyway, there was just a tweet by @Tweed which seems to indicate that with 1.2, there might be new API hooks to do direct uploads of images without using email.

Dave, you probably are aware of this already, but just wanted to let others know that perhaps the next update from you guys might have this functionality. I'm also hoping that those new hooks also have options for what size image to send...

The Download Manager API lets you upload and download files over HTTP. This API provides a subscription option that sends your application regular status updates until the upload or download is complete.

Thanks, we've heard about this, and look forward to taking advantage of it. (We've been waiting for a way to do this since months before the Pre launch...)
