Ok, I think I'm beginning to understand what is involved in uploading the
file.

But what about the other values 'operation=UPLOAD' and 'data_format=A'. Do
they also get imbedded in the stream file.

Webpage html
form METHOD="POST" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data"
ACTION="/servlet/MailboxServlet"
<input TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="operation" VALUE="UPLOAD">
<input type="radio" name="data_format" value="A" checked>
<input type="FILE" name="sourcefile" value="testfile" size="25"
maxlength="1024">


Sendfile.txt in IFS:
--TestBoundaryTestFile
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="sourcefile"; filename="Sendfile.txt"
Content-Type: text/plain

<actual file data goes here>
--TestBoundaryTestFile--

RPG:
rc = http_url_post_stmf('www.abc.com/servlet/MailboxServlet':
    '/Sendfile.txt':
    '/response.html':
    90:
    'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; OS400)':
    'multipart/form-data; boundary=TestBoundaryTestFile')
