The only place I know of where this can be done uses an INPUT tag with a
type of 'file'.

They have some JavaScript in the page which does something fancy with '/'
and '\' characters in their form field which holds the filename.

I don't want to cut/paste their HTML source as it's a commercial site
requiring authentication to get at and is more than likely copyrighted ....

As for the cgi processing at the target - don't you have full control over
how many bytes you read at once ?

Regards,
Tim
