script to upload from URL

[David Ronkin]

Call it asynchronously with ajax or jquery get/post - while waiting for
response you can print whatever you what.

> script (I use the proccgi for transferring the values).
>
> The scripts fetches the URL and launches wget to grab the file, rename it
> and move it to a specific directory.

> while it downloads the file (uploading it to the server)?
