Allow me to take a few trembling steps out on this thin ice. I am not a PHP

I take it that this loads the full binary file into the $strFile variable.

CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER actually changes how data is received, not sent. If I

Normal HTTP POSTs are done with the contents being URL encoded. This is not.

How do you get the file into the $strFile variable on the server side? Won't
it assume URL encoding?
