A lot of people are implementing progress bars that show in real time
the upload status of files being uploaded.
Right now it's a pain to implement that kind of functionality, as the
browser has to poll regularly the server with a secondary connection
to get the total size of the request, and the number of bytes already
received.
Given that the browser already knows that information, I think it
would be great if it could expose it on some DOM object. What do you
think?

A much easier and more consistent approach would be for the browser to
show the upload progress itself. Complain to your friendly local
browser vendor.
