Richard,

Here is some code I use to post files to a server. Maybe this will  
help you out.

## Create form
put the httpheaders into theOrigHeaders	
put libUrlMultipartFormData(theForm, "someVar", someData) into theResult
set the httpheaders to line 1 of theForm
delete line 1 of theForm

## Add file to form
put "<file>" & thePathToTheFileOnDisk into theFilePart
put libUrlMultipartFormAddPart(theForm, "images", theFilePart, "image/ 
jpeg", "binary") into theResult

## POST
post theForm to theURL
put the result into theError
put it into theReturnedValue

set the httpheaders to theOrigHeaders
