Okay, the problem is, I don't actually have a param('uploaded_file'). There's no file-NAME associated with the binary data I want to output.

Once I process the uploaded zipfile, the processed output is raw binary data that gets generated (What's really going on, is that I feed the uploaded file to an external java program, then that java program spits out raw binary data, that raw binary data is a zip file)

Maybe I can do something like upload($binary_contents) or something like that?

Regarding the DOS service attacks, it's a script that would be used by only a handful of people internally, so that's not really something I'm concerned about. We should be okay with a slow running, memory hogging script. :-)
