If I understand correctly, you're trying to do all of this entirely via
HTML/CSS/JavaScript, with no server-side scripting whatsoever. In that
case, see
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/979975/how-to-get-the-value-from-url-parameter
for a general idea for accepting URL parameters. You would probably run
this on page load (then maybe even submit the form automatically). For
updating the URL, you want to use window.history.pushState/replaceState
<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/API/DOM/Manipulating_the_browser_history>
[1],
since that allows navigation via forward/back buttons. We do something
similar in the style repo
<https://github.com/zotero/styles-repo/blob/master/htdocs/styles-files/js/js.js#L45>

File upload could be manageable if you read the file contents
<http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/file/dndfiles/> [3] before
submitting the form and then submit it as text. Unfortunately, reading
contents from links might be more problematic due to cross-origin
restrictions. You probably won't be able to do this without some sort of
server-side proxy.
