I Ended Up using an HttpModule but even the HttpModule won't show the progress bar
I found out something very interesting it's seems that when i upload the file in a Secure Protocol(over https://) then the progress are working but in non secure protocl (http://) the progress is not working and the file is fully buffered i don't know way is like that i believe it's a bug somewhere between the IIS to Asp.net Framework when the Request are get Procced.
now because i success make it work over https with an HttpModule i believe it is possible to make it work also with Mvc Web Api but i currently don't have the time to check that.
for parsing Mutlipart form data i used Nancy HttpMultipart parser here:
https://github.com/NancyFx/Nancy/tree/master/src/Nancy
just grabbed the classes:
HttpMultipart.cs
HttpMultipartBoundary.cs
HttpMultipartBuffer.cs
HttpMultipartSubStream.cs
here is the HttpModule Source:

public const int KB = 1024;
public const int MB = KB * 1024;
public static void CleanUnusedResources( HttpContext context)
{
if( lastClean.Add( cleanInterval ) < DateTime.UtcNow ) {
lock( cleanLocker )
{
if( lastClean.Add( cleanInterval ) < DateTime.UtcNow )
{
int maxAge = int.Parse(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["HttpUploadModule.MaxAge"]);
Uploads.Where(u=> DateTime.UtcNow.AddSeconds(maxAge) > u.Value.createdDate ).ToList().ForEach(u=>{
Uploads.Remove(u.Key);
});
Directory.GetFiles(context.Server.MapPath(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["HttpUploadModule.Folder"].TrimEnd('/'))).ToList().ForEach(f=>{
if( DateTime.UtcNow.AddSeconds(maxAge) > File.GetCreationTimeUtc(f)) File.Delete(f);
