Thanks a lot Sean for step-in on this question.

I've add the boundary marker, but this only
produces the same error.

I'm using the perl cgi script: "Upload Lite"
from the site:

<http://www.perlscriptsjavascripts.com/perl/upload_lite/>

Do you have success uploading files to a cgi or
php script in a server from RR/MC?

I noticed that you use base64encode to attach
files to email messages.

Does libUrl supports uploading binary files 
in this way?

Dave Cragg does not says that uploading binary
files using post will not works, so i'll keep 
posting my errors, so interested developers
will help or at least not repeat them.
 
Thanks again Sean! :-)
