A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Form-based Device Input and Upload in HTML
Author(s) : J. Salsman
Filename : draft-salsman-www-device-upload-08.txt
Pages : 9
Date : 24-Nov-99
Currently, HTML forms allow the producer of the form to request
information, including files of data, from the operator using the
form. However, this capability is limited because HTML forms don't
provide a way to ask the operator to submit input from arbitrary
sources such as audio devices like microphones. Since input and
upload from various devices is a feature that will benefit many
applications, this draft proposes an extension to the HTML INPUT
type='file' form element. Motivations include language instruction
assistance, voice transcription, and high-quality speech
transmission under low-bandwidth conditions.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
