You can't, this is simply not how http works.

The client opens a connection, sends headers (in your case a POST) and
data (the file). When it's finished sending you can send back anything
you like using normal output functions like echo/print/whatever (in your
case the header and content from the http hash). And then close the
connection (or accept another request if keep-alive is enabled).
