win32: own content-type --> start python script

> server=http://foo.com/uploadFiles
> EOD
> Here comes the binary data ......

> I think it just needs some entries in the registry: like

> If the file changed the script uploads it to the server.

"Registering MIME Types" would be a good place to start searching.

You might also want to consider bypassing IE and using Python's socket
module (depending on business requirements) to manipulate the info
directly.
