## Compatibility
Only modern browsers are supported (IE11, latest Edge, latest Chrome, latest Firefox, latest Safari)

## Requirements
- A reasonably fast web server. PHP is optional but recommended (see doc.pdf for details)
- Some way to generate garbage data (PHP script included, see doc.pdf for other solutions)
- Your server must accept large POST requests (up to 20 Megabytes), otherwise the upload test will fail

- It's also better if your server does not use compression, but it's not mandatory
