JB,

there's no need to custom protocol. see my previous post, http 1.1 
supports chunk transfers out-of-the-spec. Server will keep listening 
while receiving the chunks. For sending files you really should use 
multipart data (okay, it's not called multipart data, but it's 
something near this, it's what your browser use to upload from form 
data... )

Cheers
Andre
