Uploading files using HTML file input on iphone

Question

I am creating a web form for uploading small movie clips to a HTTP server. However, while my HTML file input control gets shown on an ipod touch, the button is completely disabled and I cannot click it to upload files.

What do I have to do to use the input control to upload files (e.g. movie clips or pictures) to my HTTP server. My page is XHTML MP 1.2 compliant.

IOS6 now allows it: http://agileleague.com/blog/hidden-gem-of-ios6-file-uploads-in-mobile-safari/

I tested and it works. Cheers!
