This is a web question, because the answer doesn't depend on the technology. In short, what you are trying to do is not possible without some browser-side scripting (Java, JavaScript, etc), and thus is not portable or usable on the *world* wide web. Without relying on non-portable code, at best, you can respond to the form-submission that is carrying the file-upload field with an HTML response page that says "Upload complete".
