(setBody) may be worth contacting they who maintain the package Thanks Daniel. I sure looks like I have to either do it manually, or modify the HTTP Request code myself, something I'm a bit reluctant to do.. I guess the better way is to learn how to build the HTTP body and use the setBody method, so I'll do some Googling on the subject if somebody here can't point me to a good 'how-to' right away..

*bump* I'm a bit stuck.. I'm using the PEAR http_Request to send files and data as HTTP POST, which is working fine if I in fact have the files on disk on the server. Just using the method addFile.. Okay But what if the file data is only in a variable? It feels like overkill to first save to disk, and then read it in with addFile... The HTTP POST I'm looking at will need to add files both from disk and variables. then it's not a file, it's data held in RAM (non-TSR). Absolutely true, but the receiving end is expecting the data as a file upload. Are you looking to stream the file content (such as the header or initial $n bytes) from you local system to the server? If so, sorry, but you're in the wrong place. I don't really understand what you're asking for above, but to try to explain... My server is to create a HTTP POST request to another system, with a couple of form variables and also 2-3 files. Much like a manual html form will do, but with no human intervention. Ideas are welcome.. My idea is to ask the question: how is the file data getting into the variable? Well, some of the form values are static, like user name etc. Then one file will be static (and stored on disk as a file) and added with method 'addData' to the POST request. Another file is generated dynamically from data stored in a SQL database and data provided by user input from visiting my site. Of course I can store this dynamically generated data to disk, add it with 'addData' and then delete it after the request is made, but it doesn't really feel like the right thing to do.
