Description:
------------
According to the PHP documentation about session.upload.progress, a file upload can be cancelled by setting
$_SESSION[$key]["cancel_upload"] = TRUE;

As far as PHP session data is concerned, the upload was cancelled and the data in $_FILES indicates that no file data is avaliable.

However, according to my network monitor the browser does not stop sending the file.  It sends the entire file even though the transfer should have stopped.  That means that the form processing cannot continue to the next step until all the file data has been uploaded, which could be several minutes for a large file.

Either this is a bug in the code that needs to be fixed or the documentation should be fixed to say that the upload will not be stopped but the file data will not be available because of the cancel request.

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a 
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates 
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

To demonstrate the problem, I have made available a set of 4 files that can be downloaded from http://upz.djpnet.dyndns.org/upz.zip

This problem cannot be explained with just a short piece of code.

Which SAPI and Webserver are (were) you using?  At least for FCGI
the upload progress features won't properly work, if the Webserver
buffers the request.
