For any one interested, here is a completed function.

public static void UploadProfileImage(byte[] photo, string username,
string pwd)

//photo is just a byte array of the image data

//A recent change to Twitter's api requires this line to
be included for .NET clients because
//of how the HttpWebRequest object formats the header.  I
had to set this in the new for my class, it
//seemed to be too late if I set it in this function.
You'll get a 417 error without setting this.
//  System.Net.ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue =
false;

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)
HttpWebRequest.Create(@http://twitter.com/account/
update_profile_image.xml);

request.PreAuthenticate = true;
request.AllowWriteStreamBuffering = true;

string boundary = System.Guid.NewGuid().ToString();

request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username,
pwd);
request.ContentType = string.Format(multipart/form-data;
boundary={0}, boundary);
request.Method = POST;

// Build Contents for Post
string header = -- + boundary;

StringBuilder contents = new StringBuilder();

Does the request body look correct?  Does anyone have a sample of what

Re: Problems with updating profile image

The test we use for this method is to use curl:

curl -F '[EMAIL PROTECTED]/to/test/image.jpg' -u USERNAME:PASSWORD
http://twitter.com/account/update_profile_image.xml

If you use an HTTP proxy, you can see it generating the appropriate
request and response.
