I only find the setBody() method in HTTP_Request2, while addFile() is in HTTP_Request. The correct method for adding files in HTTP_Request2 is addUpload() (which still may not work given the limitations of the upstream server). -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
