You better start writing code and do some testing.

First make a .txt file (notepad) with a known content. Then upload it.
Your cgi-exe can read CONTENT_LENGTH bytes from stdin. Write all
to a file. Then examine the file. You will find the content
of the original file back and something added in front and after.
Then you will know how to handle Content -Type: text/plain.

After having done so you could try with a known .html file.
What kind of files should the browser upload ?

Well all may be specified in a RFC. But I did find it out as described
for some types. Incredibly the formatting/coding is different for
nearly all different filetypes. But who will you blame ?

Hans.
