What is the preferred way to upload files using gWidgetsWWW?

Question

gWidgetsWWW manual indicates that the gfilebrowse widget is written only for local installs.

In my local prototype with gWidgets I was using a technique described here, but as I am trying to build an app that sits on a web server, then what would be the best way to select and upload a file to the server (using gWidgetsWWW) for further processing?

Answer 1

In gWidgetsWWW2 the example for gfile shows how this can be done. (https://github.com/jverzani/gWidgetsWWW2) Serving remotely is best done through Rook, despite the scalability issue. I have some ideas on how to improve this, but they aren't more than a proof of concept right now.
