In your previous example, tType would be "text/plain". However, this  
might not be necessary to set as I think this is the default. Same  
for the encoding.

These are html attributes for the browser.

The "name" attribute is needed. Using your example, it should look  
like this:

   if libUrlMultipartFormAddPart(tForm,"infile", tFile, tType, tEnc)  
is empty then

The "size"attribute is for the browser.

No, I don't think so.

Probably a good idea. Meanwhile, below is the rfc for the multipart/ 
formdata. It may be useful if you are doing a lot of form stuff.
