#  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")

#  Begin the HTTP upload in a background thread:

#  Print the progress as we wait...

    #  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() + "% "\
         + upload.get_NumBytesSent() + "/" + upload.get_TotalUploadSize()

    #  Sleep 2/10ths of a second.
    upload.SleepMs(200)

#  Did the upload succeed?
