Xbase++ Requires Chilkat v11.7.0+
Box: Upload a Local File with HttpCurl

Run the reusable setup once per HttpCurl object, then select names and execute the operation. The setup is repeated here only to make this published example independently runnable. Upload a local PDF into documents, selected by name. Resolve the folder with the registry before building multipart attributes. This explicit second phase avoids literal placeholders in -F fields; files are limited to 50 MB for direct uploads.
See the Box API guide for setup and the complete workflow.
