I don't think you can make HTTP work this way, but feel free to show me 
somewhere this works to prove me wrong.

MIME multi-part works for email, but I don't know about HTTP. I suppose 
you could try something with Javascript, but how I cannot say. (I am 
allergic to javascript.) But this would probably only be able to push 
several single files at one time.

The best alternative probably is to archive them all and send that file.

          --jcc
