           Summary: Upload-by-URL should run in background, report feedback
                    interactively to user
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
               URL: http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Uploading
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


Uploading a very large file from an external URL could take a significant
amount of time -- potentially minutes or hours. In this case it isn't really
appropriate to do the downloading within the PHP web interface; it should be
spawned to a background process of some sort.

Progress needs to be shown to the user interactively, and they need to be able
to go back and look at the status to check up on their upload if they've
navigated away from it.

Needs some consideration on the best UI model and backend model.
