If you don't want the filename just post the binary data directly. Then it's not a 'file' upload. You should be able to do:

loHttp.AddPostKey("file",FileToStr("c:\temp\somefile.pdf"))

The file switch is specifically to treat the content as a file upload which has to include the filename in the header. It sounds like Amazon is expecting a plain form variable not a file.

>>it should do the FileToStr() conversion for you. You don't want to change that code - it definitely works. Otherwise that'll get blown away next time. The previous change I showed is integrated into the next rev of the tools.
