SUCCESS with a binary upload!

["James H. H. Lampert" <jamesl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I found the problem.

Looking at the source for the http_mfd_encoder_open() routine, I noticed 
that it was unconditionally setting up the correct content-type, and 
generating a boundary, and yet that wasn't showing up at all in the 
httpapi_debug file. I searched for "Content-Type," and saw something 
that didn't make sense, and so I went back to the EXAMPLE7 source 
member, and my test source member, and found the problem.

In adapting the code from EXAMPLE7, I left out some parameters on the 
http_url_post_stmf() call:

Instead of
> C                   eval      rc = http_url_post_stmf(
> c                              'https://foo/bar.com' +
> c                              ':8090/rest/attachment/uploadaszip?' +
> c                              'objectSchemaName=installed_products' +
> c                              '&recordId=10': TEMPFILE:
> c                              '/tmp/http_result.txt':
> C                              HTTP_TIMEOUT:
> C                              HTTP_USERAGENT:
> C                              CONTENTTYPE)

I had
> C                   eval      rc = http_url_post_stmf(
> c                              'https://foo/bar.com' +
> c                              ':8090/rest/attachment/uploadaszip?' +
> c                              'objectSchemaName=installed_products' +
> c                              '&recordId=10': TEMPFILE:
> c                              '/tmp/http_result.txt')

which defaulted the overall content type as
> Content-Type: text/xml

where it should have been
> Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=-httpapi-2016-10-26-10.53.35.456

Once I corrected that oversight, the zip file upload worked perfectly 
(regardless of whether the individual part's content-type was specified 
as "application/octet-stream" or "multipart/form-data").
