rest-client

I have been using rest-client in ruby in post XML to a third-party API.

I need to be able to include a binary image that's uploaded.

How do I do that?

Uploading Attachments

Both letters and postcards will, in most cases, require the attachment of documents. Those attachments might be PDFs in the case of letters or images in the case of postcards.

To uploading an attachment, submit a POST to:

http://www.postful.com/service/upload

Be sure to include the Content-Type and Content-Length headers and the attachment itself as the body of the request.

POST /upload HTTP/1.0 Content-Type: application/octet-stream Content-Length: 301456

... file content here ...

If the upload is successful, you will receive a response like the following:

290797321.waltershandy.2
