You can have a look at what the Fonera people do with their "uploadd" 
library, which is a file uploader (to facebook, youtube, picasa, etc) 
that uses httpclient. You can specify that your content encoding is 
binary for the mime chunk and then use a callback function to just 
stream the data from file to the HTTP connection.
