Please look at:

ftp://ds.internic.net/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-html-fileupload-01.txt

for a complete explanation of this <input type=file> tag. A sample
implementation can be found at:

ftp://ftp.eit.com/pub/fileup/

Discussions that led to this draft and implementation can be found in the
www-talk mail archive.
