# View an Uploaded Document

You can view a document that the View component cannot access directly on a Web site or file system, by uploading the file in the `View` action. To upload a document, you must send the `View` action as a POST request, and upload the document as `multipart/form-data` in the `ViewUpload` parameter.

For example:

    <form name="example" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="http://localhost:14000/a=view&output=html&noaci=true" target="view_output">
    View This File:(input type="file" name="viewupload" />
          <br><br>
          Highlight: <input type="text" name="links" />
          <br><br>
          <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
    </form>

This example shows a POST request for the `View` action, including the usage of `ViewUpload`.
