Hi all,

I’ve got a little remote uploader app (written in Ruby Shoes) that  
uses Mechanize to create a new object (I think mechanize works by  
submitting an http form).

I’d like to take Mechanize out of the equation and do a straight HTTP  
POST (authenticated)… but I’m having problems with how to manage the  
fact that my object has 2 files in it … what is the syntax for a  
POST that includes a bunch of fields and a couple of files to be  
posted?

Can anyone help with an example?

Etienne
