I have updated your JSFiddle to post additional fields.

http://jsfiddle.net/dtrimarchi/bWs9j/61/

upload: function (e) {
    e.data = { dropdownlist: $("#dropdownlist").val(), docnumber: $("#docnumber").val() };
}

Did you take a look at the upload event handler? Looks like this will do what you need possibly to send extra data, their example is adding a request header.

I managed to modify the saveurl in the upload function like this:

upload: function (e) { e.sender.options.async.saveUrl = e.sender.options.async.saveUrl + "/" + e.files[0].name; }

I am always uploading one file and I am sending its name in the URL. Async configuration is:

async: { withCredentials: true, saveUrl: "url to the saving service", }

Here is an example I have used:

upload: function onUpload(e) {

 $.each(e.files, function (index, value) {
var fileName = value.name;

 e.sender.options.async.saveUrl = _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('List A')/items(2)/AttachmentFiles/add('" + fileName + "')"

      });
    },
