Getting original file meta-data from FineUploader

I am aware that performing a stat on an uploaded file will only give creation/modified/access dates at the time the file was uploaded.

So a very quick question, is there any way for FineUploader to access the original file meta-data for these fields and send it along with the upload request?

From what I understand, this is probably not possible, but it never hurts to ask!

This feature is not natively supported by Fine Uploader. You could open up an issue if you think it would be a useful feature.

That being said, you can do it using Fine Uploader's callbacks and the FileAPI. The best you could do in any browser right now is get the lastModifiedDate using the FileAPI and add that to the parameters for each file in your onSubmitted callback,

var getLastModifiedDate = function(file) { 
/* Cross-broswer File API shim to get Last Modified Date of a file */
}

var fineuploader = new qq.FineUploader/* ... */

    /* snippet */
    callbacks: {

        onSubmitted: function(id, name) {
            var file = fineuploader.getFile(id),
                lastModified = getLastModifiedDate(file);
            fineuploader.setParams({ lastModified: lastModified }, id);
        });
    }
    /* snippet */

I found this question and answer which has an example and a shim to retrieve the lastModifiedDate.
