Subject: Re: http-access2 multi-part from upload

Hey Ara,

It is very similar to multipart email encoding:

Add this to the post headers:

CONTENT_LENGTH: #{the total length or the body of the message with all 
boundaries}
CONTENT_TYPE: multipart/form-data; 
boundary=---------------------------41184676334

Then have a blank line. Then the body:

-----------------------------41184676334
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="example.txt"
Content-Type: text/plain

This is the content of a text file.

-----------------------------41184676334
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="foo"

bar
-----------------------------41184676334
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="bar"

foo
-----------------------------41184676334--


Don't forget the trailing -- after the last divider.

You could also use curl on the command line:

curl -F foo=bar -F bar=foo file=@/path/to/file uri
