Ok, I posted the code at the bottom.. I got it to a point it doesn't cut
off the file content, however it's as if the web server or the ASPUpload
doesn't know what to do with it.. I cut out a lot of the content below,
because it's binary, but left the header and what's wrapped around the
binary file.. Does this data look right?
