Re: Draft for Resumable Uploads

1xx is exposed in node.js and other JS HTTP implementations. I think what you mean is that it won't be implementable using JS in a browser. However, the right thing to do there may very well be to implement natively in the browser -- assuming that it has to be implementable without changes to browsers is an artificial constraint that may not be relevant.
