Hi, this was not about uploading a file, but updating an existing file's content from a browser. Mimicking a multipart file upload would probably work, but is painful at best with a XHR request.
In the meantime I found out that I can simply POST my updated content directly to the jcr:data property: $ curl -F"./jcr:content/jcr:data=…" http://localhost:8080/path/to/file Ciao, Victor.
