Or, rather, you'd need to overlay some kind of protocol on top of HTTP that would maintain the state to tie the upload to the POST. It's not "impossible" but nobody has bothered to do it because HTTP file upload works "okay" for normal uses, and if you have ginormous files, you'll be better off using FTP anyway. But do feel free to write and release an Open Source solution to this problem. > Tested on two servers.
