Just an FYI for anyone who may run across this thread. I just got it working, what I did was the recommended PartBase.setTransferEncoding( null ) as well as move an additional StringPart from the part array to a parameter on the URL. There was a hidden field in the multipart form and I just moved it to the URL. This way I had only FilePart parts in the multipart request. Thanks to all for the help.

I haven't done any packet analysis for a while, what tool would you recommend for Windows? Also, are there any applications such as wget that would support multipart posts? -james On 7/4/07, Oleg Kalnichevski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tue, 2007-07-03 at 22:32 -0600, James Norman wrote: > > Hey All, > > I'm not sure if anyone will be able to help with this but I figured > > I'd try.
