I'm afraid might be in a dead end here. I don't think the server can request just any file from the client, that would be like a MAJOR security breach (f.ex. every server would have a file upload, which would discard the name and upload /etc/passwd or the Windows registry or something).
I think the uploaded file's name is in the request that the client sends, and if I remember correctly, the uploaded file comes next. I don't think the webserver is even allowed to say anything before the entire file is uploaded, and therefore you can't request a file that way, but I'm on very thin ice here. Anyway, it sounds very dangerous to me.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
