I could try! I don't know if you want to be following after me ;-)

there. I made a smiley.

Some of what I'm doing seems disgusting, but maybe I was cool to have figured 
it out. 

You do have to setup some headers and things - or I did I guess.

On my server, I have a relationship from Person to an ERAttachment called 
"poster"

so in iOS I call that URL (blahblah/Person/999/poster.bplist or something) then 
you send it wrapped binary image data and some headers.

I had to pad the data to form a proper boundary format for multi-part handling 
like so:



    [urlRequest addValue:@"image/png" forHTTPHeaderField:@"mimetype"];
    [urlRequest addValue:@"image/png" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Mime-Type"];

    [urlRequest addValue:@"photo.png" forHTTPHeaderField:@"filename"];

    NSString *boundary = 
@"---------------------------14737809831466499882746641449";
    NSString *contentType = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"multipart/form-data; 
boundary=%@",boundary];
    [urlRequest addValue:contentType forHTTPHeaderField: @"Content-Type"];
    
    NSMutableData *body = [NSMutableData data];
    [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"\r\n--%@\r\n",boundary] 
dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];

    //Image
    [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Content-Disposition: 
form-data; name=\"filMyFile\"; filename=\"%@\"\r\n", @"poster.png"] 
dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    [body appendData:[@"Content-Type: image/png\r\n\r\n" 
dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    [body appendData:scaledImageData];
    [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"\r\n--%@--\r\n",boundary] 
dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];

    [urlRequest setHTTPBody:body];



And then I push all that to the server.

does that help?

oh, passing back down is as easy as anything else - I get my images from Amazon 
S3 like any web image.

let me know if you need help on that.
