Using Rev CGI for Giant POST action

We want to set up a protected web page where users can browse their
drive for a movie file(s) and upload via http. Like YouTube does it. I
presume this is just POST with a CGI on the back end that is robust
enough to receive it.
Right now the only CGI language that I know is Revolution. Easy enough
to test of course, and one answer is "just try it..." What exactly are
we looking at? well, a typical upload (recently done by someone who has
FTP access ... ) was four .avi files, 1 at 83 megs, 1 at 45 megs, 1 at
32 megs and 1 at 15 megs...
And of course it might also be just any big file (like a huge PDF or
Photoshop file)
But I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this and aware of
any issues that we should be on the look out for?
Thanks
