Upload Files to Web Server

Demonstrates how to upload files from an application to a web server. Note: There must be something provided on the server-side to consume the upload. It could be an ASP or ASP.NET script, Perl, C++ CGI, PHP, Ruby, etc,. However, uploading via HTTP is not the same as uploading via FTP where the FTP server handles receiving the file and saving to disk.

//  The URL we'll be posting to is:
//  http://www.chilkatsoft.com/receiveUpload.aspx
//  Therefore, the path part of the URL is:
req.Path = "/receiveUpload.aspx";

//  Note: You may test uploads to this URL, but anything over 80K will be aborted on the receiving side.

//  Add some files to the request:
//  The 1st argument is an arbitrary name.  It's the POST form field name.
//  The 2nd argument is the filename currently existing on
//  the local filesystem.  It may include an absolute or relative
//  path, or no path at all if it's in the current working directory.
