HTTP Post

HTTP Post uploads a file to a website, using HTTP[S] with the POST verb. POST is the mechanism used by most websites that accept browser-based uploads.

Use this script like a destination, as a per-file process. Typically you would use this in a task with one or more sources.

Input Parameters

Notes

HTTP Post works only when the website requires either no authentication, or HTTP authentication.

HTTP Post does not work for websites that require the user to sign on via a web form to authenticate.

This script is not suitable for files larger than a few dozen megabytes, because it loads the entire file into memory before saving it.
