Re: [fpc-pascal] Prorammatically sending file using HTTP POST?

HTTP is quite simple actually. You just build a post message (a string), and send it over a socket. I've implemented HTTP client functions in many computer languages. Here are the key take aways if you want to implement it yourself. Build this string filling out the blanks using your own values
