No solution here for the server side - I have a similar problem!  But I DO know
of a Win32 Borland  library with an http component which supports POSTing of
files.  If you're working in Delphi, or C++ Builder, try

http://www.nevrona.com/Indy/Download.html

BUT - what about the server end, and PHP?  I need to write a script which
extracts the POSTed file content and store it on the server.  (With a browser
client I could upload from with <input type="file"> form elements and use the
PHP upload functions, but using a browser at the client end is not an option
here.)

According to the w3c docs, POSTed  content is sent in the "request
entity body".  Since the request has a header, it's logical that it can
have a body too :-) but I don't see any PHP functionality for getting at
it.

PHP itself must be able to extract the POSTed data - it does so when saving a
POSTed file to its temporary location - but this function don't seem to be
exposed
in the API... is it?

Thanks for any wisdom!
