Well, actually, reading the Javadoc for RequestBuilder is enough to
find the info about Safari ;-)
http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/javadoc/1.5/com/google/gwt/http/client/RequestBuilder.html
(with a link to a bug that's been closed in early 2006)

As for the firewalls, I've heard about it on the atom-protocol WG,
from a GData developper. You can find it in their doc too:
http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/basics.html
"If your firewall does not allow PUT, then do an HTTP POST and set the
method override header as follows"
"If your firewall does not allow DELETE, then do an HTTP POST and set
the method override header as follows"

I wouldn't call it a "file" then.
When I read "sending a file", I understand that I have a file (on the
file system) whose data I want to send (maybe along with its name
too), not that I have some data (that might appear being something
usually stored in files, but is just "some data") that I want to send.
