How to use multipart upload to S3 via web browser?

I would like to know, if is it possible to use multipart upload to S3 via a web browser (low-level API)?

If that is the case are there any demo web apps with source code or tutorials?

Thanks in advance

The question appears to be about multi-part uploads from a browser, not single-part uploads.

Yes, you can do single-part uploads from a web browser using HTTP POST.

No, you cannot do a multi-part upload via a standard web browser, although such a thing might be possible using Flash/Silverlight. This will, of course, eliminate most mobile devices as well as any desktop users who have purposefully uninstalled these plugins (like me!).

It certainly is possible, look at http://sente.cc/upload_to_s3.html for a working example which uploads directly to S3 from the browser.

From your question, it doesn't seem like you're looking for a solution in a specific language.

Anyway, there's a page on the official s3 docs that shows the browser-based uploads feature. It might help to check it out.
