Thanks Matt, I had tried not setting the contentType (it's only in the code below as I grasped at straws to get things working). But the data still comes across without key/value pairs. The data is there server-side but appears to be unformatted (raw, as you say).
I guess my question is - can ByteArray data only be posted as a Raw POST? Seems odd as that would essentially exclude binary posts to regular PHP / ASP / RoR server-side scripts with URLRequest? If I have to write a custom handler (or Base64 encode the binary data and post as a regular form post) that's fine - just want to make sure I wasn't missing the obvious.
