Drag and drop a file then POST to a URL using HTML5

Question

I have figured out the drag and drop part but how would I then upload and POST the file to a URL with set parameters?

If I had a form I would just

   <form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"  action="url">  
 <input type="?" name="?"/>  
 <input type="?" name ="?" value="?"/>  
 </form> 

How would I do above using the HTML5 drag and drop API???

I think this MDC tutorial is what you're looking for: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Using_files_from_web_applications

It discusses the drag/drop operation up to uploading the file with the new local file support.
