>>@jason: doesn't an upload through a webservice generate a lot of overhead?
Well, SOAP in general is not the smallest web service protocol to work with, being XML. But the actual data for the file sent is still binary, so we didn't notice any performance issues doing it this way. With the call, the overall size of the transfer was small because the SOAP message didn't have to contain very much outside of the file binary data. That's my understanding anyway, I'm not a middleware or server side guy, I primary just do client side coding with Actionscript and MXML.
