Right - I've been trying to create an HTML form that uses the file chooser input types to select files, and then upload using the form. I get the following error:
"Content-Type multipart/form- data;boundary=---------------------------27350115016941 is not valid." So my guess is that the API does not support using HTML forms at this time. Is that right? Also, do any of the client libraries support uploading multiple photos in one request, or is a separate request required for each photo?
