Exactly.
We need to be able to accept uploads now going upwards of > 50MB, and
from slow international connections too. HTTP just isn't good for
that, not to mention all the configuration needing to be done in the
webserver and PHP to sit there and wait...
We'll probably be forced into looking into third party tools, since
HTTP itself, regardless of what server-side language used, is a bit
too unreliable, and we need some thicker/beefier solution which allows
for resuming, retries on timeouts, etc.
