Name is a placeholder unless everyone liked it.

Discussion thread is here: https://groups.google.com/group/opensocial-and-gadgets-spec/browse_thread/thread/539c73db4fdf1da0#

With the desire to deprecate the makeRequest API, we still need a method to post files through the proxy. This new feature should not be bundled in with core, it should need to be explicitly requested.

It should allow modern browsers such as FF and Chrome to monitor form post progress. It should still be functional (do the post) for less capable browsers like IE, even though post progress may not be available.

1.) Please attach a patch if appropriate.
4.) Include a link to the design document wiki page.

No, but they are related.

This is a new feature we want to expose. The other is just to clean up makerequest params and stuff, I thought.
