When I upload multiple files (per bluimp jquery file upload) the [httppost] action is entered once per file. Is it possible to specify one and only one postback with an enumerated file container to iterate?

View:

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.ui.widget.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.iframe-transport.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.fileupload.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>

<input id="fileupload" type="file" name="files" multiple="multiple"/>

Controller:

public ActionResult Index()
{
    return View();
}

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(IEnumerable<HttpPostedFileBase> files)
{
    // This is posted back for every file that gets uploaded...I would prefer it only post back once
    // with a actual collection of files to iterate.
    foreach (var file in files) // There is only ever one file in files
    {
        var filename = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/App_Data"), file.FileName);
        file.SaveAs(filename);
    }
    return View();
}
