html forms vs revlets

[Robert Maniquant]

Yes you can.. but the whole revlet will have to be reloaded into memory, and
this is not instantaneous.
And if you had other variables in the revlet, they're lost cause its a new
session.. 

a kind of "postFromRevlet RevletId, targetFile" and "postToRevlet revletId,
targetFile" command would be great.. !! 

To make it easier you can play around with test stack I made in june
testParamsOk.rev
