There used to be some code in admin.pl to handle the file-upload of a file 
through http. I don't think it was ever finished, or atleast, tested. Look 
around, it may still be there and you may be able to use it.

A while back I messed with doing file upload via http for the photo gallery 
plugin that I started. I didn't get very far with it, because with slash you 
can't just use cgi and use it to handle the file coming from the form.

If you write the code to do file uploading, I would be eternally grateful to 
you. I've just never had the time to get into it it more and get it written.
