Amazon S3 Multipart Upload with plupload and Rails 3

Question

Amazon has multipart upload functionality where you can send a file in chunks and get it assembled on S3. This allows for some nice resume like functionality for uploading to S3. From another question i got this nice link: Rails 3 & Plupload

My question is does anyone have any examples where they used the plupload chunking feature with the Amazon multipart feature? Ideally with carrierwave & fog.

I can see it doing the following:

• Generate Unique ID for the upload with plupload,
  can we do an event when the plupload starts?
• Attaching an ajax request to the chunk completed with the ID
• Having ajax controller method on the server which uploads to s3 using the ID
• when all are complete fire a
  controller action to reassemble

There is supposedly some PHP code which does some combining, but not with S3 and i can't stand to read PHP.
