Automatic Upload
3. The eWepMediaTransfer module posts the file information, and any other
information given to it by the client, to the server as multipart form data. A
server script receives the posted information.
The form post consists of a posted form with a file field. Form data is
assembled on the client side. The form contains information fields and a file
field. This is the same format found in any form being posted from a browser.

4. The server script extracts the file and information about it, and updates the
content management system with this information. This involves saving the
file and updating any databases or files.
Other file processing can also be done, such as creating a thumbnail or
specifying an icon to represent the uploaded file. An ASP script is provided in
the eWepAutoSvr module to help this process.

Response XML Data Island” on page 474
5. When the file processing is complete, the server assembles XML response
data and sends it to the client. The eWepAutoSvr file is provided for ASP or
other scripts that support COM to help this process.
