Abstract
An apparatus for and method of utilizing an internet terminal coupled to the world wide web to access an existing proprietary data base management system having a dialog-based request format. The multiple file upload user request is received by a web server from the world wide web. Each of the files is stored in a different temporary file created to buffer the uploaded files until they are processed. Following processing, the temporary files are deleted. Through the use of this feature, an application developer can make efficient multiple file data transfers from a user terminal without the need to analyze the transfer in binary form.
