Note Submitter: csnyder at chxo dot com ---- Need to create a POST request that uploads a file? I spent this afternoon trying to figure out what one looks like, and here is a template that has been successful for me: ======================== POST /path/to/script.php HTTP/1.0 Host: example.com Content-type: multipart/form-data, boundary=AaB03x Content-Length: $requestlen --AaB03x content-disposition: form-data; name="field1" $field1 --AaB03x content-disposition: form-data; name="field2" $field2 --AaB03x content-disposition: form-data; name="userfile"; filename="$filename" Content-Type: $mimetype Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary $binarydata --AaB03x-- ========================== Note that you have to generate the Content-Length header after you generate the body of the request (from the first --AaB03x down, including the file data), so the thing to do in practice is to build the body first, get the strlen(), and then build the headers onto the front of the body. See RFC1867 - Form-based File Upload in HTML (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1867.html) for more info on the format of "multipart/form-data" posts. Good luck!
