Description
When a file is downloaded the browser shows us the status of the download with speed and size and allows to cancel it. When a form is submitted it does not show anything. And especially when sending large files it would be convenient to see the progress. If we want it to be displayed we must create a dialog with Javascript, send the form with XMLHttpRequest and monitor the submission process and show it in the dialog. It would be very easy for this process to be done by the browser automatically if it is indicated in the form with a parameter to do so.

Research direction

Define the expected progress display, upload status, and cancellation semantics; the issue names no repository files or tests, so a standards-level proposal and validation criteria are needed before implementation.
