Send word document

[neoret]

How do I send a word document as an attachement to a http call?

Guess I have to parse it to bytes - does anyone know how this is done?

Thanks for any help you can provide

Are you talking about a Request (uploading) or a Response (downloading)?

The only way to do this is to use a POST request, with the enctype attribute
set to "multipart/form-data" and the binary content of the file as a form
field. There are a number of rules for the contents of the form POST,
including the use of boundaries, and Base64 Content-Transfer-Encoding to
encode the binary data.

See http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1867.html and
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1521.html for details.
