A friend pointed out to me Curl's way of handling the passing of a
file. I didn't realize there was an option for this.
This other question I have extends the scope of this mailing list (an
RTFM n00b will suffice). Without using Curl's command line, how would
this normally be done; that is, formatting the URL string to include
binary data in an GET/POST request?
Thanks,
