hi joe,

wget does not natively support multipart uploads at the moment. but you might be able \
to do what you need using this shell script:


#!/bin/bash

BOUNDARY="AaB03x"

echo -n "--$BOUNDARY\r\nContent-disposition: form-data; \
name=\"mdsData\"\r\nContent-Type: text/plain\r\n\r\n" > tmpfile cat $1 >> tmpfile
echo -n "--$BOUNDARY\r\n" >> tmpfile

wget --header="Content-type: multipart/form-data, boundary=$BOUNDARY" \
     --post-file="tmpfile" \
     http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/mds/mds

rm -f tmpfile

# end of script


the usage, of course, is:

sh scriptname filetoupload


let me know if this solved your problem. but, please, let's continue this \
conversation on the wget ml.
