Well, here's an idea.

Once the uploaded data has reached a certain size, we could hit the 
application with an "unfinished" request.  The application would be 
given the opportunity to reject the rest of the request.

I don't see this being worth the trouble today, though.  As for upload 
progress, that's entirely the responsibility of the user agent, and Zope 
can't improve that in any way.
