First of all, thanks David for sharing this script. Before you go too much further, though, I would recommend replacing the form login approach with digest auth. Form login is really just a convenience for testing. It's intended to be replaced by CAS or some other single sign on solution, or to be put behind Apache HTTPD since form login without SSL isn't secure. See [1] for some more info on digest auth in Matterhorn.
Now to answer your question with a question (sorry!): is there a reason to use these endpoints rather than simply uploading zipped mediapackages? You can certainly go either way, but building the zip file locally will require a lot less back-and-forth with the server.
