Martin wants some sort of activity to occur as a result of the beginning and ending of a POST containing a file-upload. Since the browser starts the POST, and stays with it until the response message is complete, there's nothing that can be done server-side to "talk to" the browser from the moment the POST is started until the file is completely uploaded.
