Here are sets of headers from my testing yesterday, I'll get the formdata
patch in and test it shortly. For each of these, I've edited out the
resulting html and included a comment there if the destination web server
accepted the file upload or not. There really are no differences in the
headers between all the tests. Regarding "-vi", I've been using the long
format options & thus didn't match them up--no caffeen & at the keyboard
early this morning...bad combination.
