# Specify the page (ASP, ASP.NET, Perl, Python, Ruby, CGI, etc)
# that will process the HTTP Upload.

# Add one or more files to be uploaded.
upload.AddFileReference("file1","dude.gif")

# To upload using SSL/TLS (https), set the Ssl property = true

# Begin the HTTP upload in a background thread:
success = upload.BeginUpload()

# Wait for the upload to finish.
# Print the progress as we wait...

    # We can abort the upload at any point by calling:

    # Display the percentage complete and the number of bytes uploaded so far..
    # The total upload size will become set after the upload begins:
    print upload.get_PercentUploaded().to_s() + "% " + upload.get_NumBytesSent().to_s() + "/" + upload.get_TotalUploadSize().to_s() + "\n";

    # Sleep 2/10ths of a second.
