The data file upload utility could have security holes in it. Ports may not be
closed when a client does not send all of the data that it says it is going to.
The data file upload utility needs to be thoroughly tested.

Obsoleted because the socket system is no longer used, as it was replaced by
"multipart/form-data" encoded data transferred using vanilla http. See bug 191
for a detailed description. The socket implementation of file upload has been
removed from Metacat.
