You can upload multiple files in the same HTTP POST. Just add several <input type="file" to the same page (and hope you don't hit max_post_size). That can be done with javascript. Or do you mean uploading half file now and the other half on a second connection later? _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
