<div dir="ltr">I've found a lot of PHP implementations of file upload from the client to the sever via rfc2388. When you receive the stream on your own server you can calculate the progress. I am not so sure about calculating the progress when you as a client send it via POST http-request to some other server. The actual data writing to the stream using (write-sequence buf stream :end pos) may happen pretty fast, but you'll wait for much longer time till you receive the response with the status code from the server.<br>
BTW, do we have some search in the mailing list? The <a href="http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/drakma-devel/">archive</a> page doesn't have the search field, how do you guys search it?<br><br>Thank you,<br>Andrew<br><br>

</div></div>It's possible but not actually the task of the web server. If you<br>
search the archives of this list, you'll find some previous<br>
discussions and solutions. It might also be worthwhile to look at<br>
existing solutions in, say, PHP or Java and to translate them.<br>
