I have no idea how to handle such inconsistent behaviour on the server side (except adding extra code to flatten all uploaded directory structures before handling). I assume that HTTP upload should be kept simple, and more complex upload tasks should be handled with specialized applications, such as RadUpload[1].

I don't think we want to rely on the availability of Java on the end user's platform (or the availability of any other plug-in for that matter).

I did not mean including it into HTML5 or an UA. Just leaving specialized upload tasks out of the standard, assuming that developers will work with applications that they think are useful for their tasks (and that rely on technologies they believe are avaliable at their target audience).

And I mean that if it is important to application developers we should make it available as a feature and not endorse some plug-in dependency.
