On further examination I have decided that websockets are overkill for my purpose, it seems that XHR v2 is a better fit for file uploads.
Here is an example: https://github.com/Integralist/XHR2-Multiple-File-Upload--with-PHP- That code makes me believe that I will be able to accomplish a progressbar without having to change my current PL web server code at all. To be continued after I actually try it...
