[wp-hackers] POSTing a file via wp_remote_post

Hi,

Thanks for your response... there's some helpful stuff for me in there...

Unfortunately my need is for very large files (it's a backup plugin, 
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/updraftplus). Unlimited size; can't 
be read into memory.

Having spent more time looking at the WP_HTTP code, its seems clear that 
it can't be done. For now I'll either have to stick with with Curl only, 
or consider rewriting the WP_HTTP classes.

David
