The POST request type is not an upload method per se, but rather one of several methods of delivering data in a request. If you wish to upload a file, you should either use POST to send data to a script on your server, which reads the data and saves it, or use the PUT method with a DAV service.

For example: You have upload.php on your server which reads the POST contents and saves it as a file;

POST /upload.php?save-as=t.txt HTTP/1.1
Host: somehost
Content-Length: 5
Content-Type: text/plain

Hello


The script will then read your contents and save it using some php/whatever-language method you define.

With regards,
Daniel.
