Thanks. I actually had a look at the HttpRequest source code, and I
can see the logic where it switches to multipart encoding if files are
present but it actually appears that it's not possible to force it to
do that. It's sort of annoying that it's right at my finger tips but
there's no way to do it, and for sort of a silly reason (there's
arbitrarily no way to pick which encoding to use, it decides for you
even though it has the capability of doing anything). A custom PECL
build is not an option, unfortunately.
I'll have to check out the httpclient class that Manuel Lemos mentioned.
Thanks,
Jason
