Demonstrates how to do an HTTP upload asynchronously in a background thread.

A server-side C# example showing how to receive an upload is located at C# ASP.NET Code to Receive Upload

DataFlex

Use ChilkatAx-win32.pkg

Procedure Test
    Boolean iSuccess
    Handle hoUpload
    String sTemp1
    Integer iTemp1
    Integer iTemp2
    Integer iTemp3
    Boolean bTemp1

    Move False To iSuccess

        Send CreateComObject of hoUpload
    End

    // Specify the page (ASP, ASP.NET, Perl, Python, Ruby, CGI, etc)
    // that will process the HTTP Upload.
    Set ComHostname Of hoUpload To "www.mywebserver.com"
    Set ComPath Of hoUpload To "/receiveUpload.aspx"

    // Add one or more files to be uploaded.
    Send ComAddFileReference To hoUpload "file1" "dude.gif"
    Send ComAddFileReference To hoUpload "file2" "pigs.xml"
    Send ComAddFileReference To hoUpload "file3" "sample.doc"

        Get ComLastErrorText Of hoUpload To sTemp1
        Showln sTemp1
    End

    // Print the progress as we wait...
    While ((ComUploadInProgress(hoUpload)) = True)
        // We can abort the upload at any point by calling:
        // upload.AbortUpload();

        // Display the percentage complete and the number of bytes uploaded so far..
        // The total upload size will become set after the upload begins:

        Get ComNumBytesSent Of hoUpload To iTemp2
        Get ComTotalUploadSize Of hoUpload To iTemp3
        Showln iTemp1 "% " iTemp2 "/" iTemp3

        // Sleep 2/10ths of a second.
        Send ComSleepMs To hoUpload 200

    Loop

    // Did the upload succeed?
