Browsers? No ... they just load the new page - that's what make the users think the website has fallen into sleep and they start clicking all sorts of things.
For every other approach, there is simply no channel in the HTTP-protocol to output the information to.
So the question about how to get the information is completely secondary :-)
Hmmm .. so Zope doesn't know how much data it has received ?
IF you want to watch uploads for debugging purpose, and files are huge, you can try "lsof" in the temp directory.
I can imagine one way to do this, if you can get the number of bytes uploaded so far. It would be a bit cumbersome, though. Here goes -
The command to start the upload opens a new window. That window has a meta element that causes the page to reload, say every five seconds. The page for the automatic reload displays the bytes uplaoded so far. When the upload is complete, the next reload has the window close itself (using javascript), or else it just announces that the upload is complete.
Personally, I doubt that it is worth it. It is easier to load a static page that just says "upload in progress..." or something like that.

Okay - I can see that just dislaying an 'upload in progress' would be the best way to do this. So I follow this path :-) Which leaves me with one last question: PageA contains the <form> that has a <input type="file"> element. PageB contains a text saying 'Upload in progress ...' When that form is submitted, the page won't return until the entire file is uploaded (and then the wait text won't get displayed). So what I need to do is to make some sort of hidden frame that submits the form ? How would you do this ?
