file upload

[T-8 guests]

netscape 2.0b2 supports file upload via POST (multiple files are
delineated via embedded mime-like headers).
Their implementation is based on the "IETF Internet-Draft on Form-based
File Upload in HTML", available at
ftp://ietf.cnri.reston.va.us/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-html-fileupload-03.txt

it should be simple for omniweb 2.0 to support likewise via an icon
drag-and-drop, and perhaps even give a gzip option for better bandwidth.

      HTTP File Upload: Previously, form input was limited to input boxes and
      other simple elements like checkboxes and
      radio buttons. Now you can write forms that ask for files as input. 

      A new "ENCTYPE" attribute on the <FORM> tag allows you to write forms
      that take files as input. An example of such a
      form would be: 

            <FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="_URL_" METHOD=POST>

            Send this file: <INPUT NAME="userfile" TYPE="file"> 
            <INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Send File"> 
            </FORM>
