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.
