The problem is that I do not undestand where curl is putting the
image.
If it is not in request.vars.keys() then curl is not doing a multipart
form submission.
If the file is in request.body that it will not be parsed and stored
in request.vars but this:
request.body.seek(0)
db.videos.file.store(request.body, 'upload.flv')
should work.
