Thanks for your reply. However, I'm still stucked at constructing the body. As far as I got, request_raw  does not provide any routines for building  multipart/form-data chunks. If I supply all data in a table, it'll be url-encoded (which is bad for larger binary files).

Are you aware of any higher-level routines using request_raw(.)? Constructing HTTP-Request bodies by hand seem to be rather error-prone (imho)  - actually, that's why I'm looking for a http-client library.

Thanks,
Keep smiling
