[Zope] path of a fileupload instance

[robert rottermann]

to my knowledge, for security reason no modern browser submits the path anymore.
If you need the path, you have to create your own file uploader or use a tool 
like uploadify (http://www.uploadify.com)
I *think* javascript gets you access to the full path.
