I'm not sure if this is what i want, maybe i didn't ask the question 
correctly.    I need something that will upload to a multipart/form-data 
content type. 

One thing that was not clear to me from the man page of 
ne_set_request_body_fd() is if i would be able to set the 
multipart/form-data  boundry=abcd, and how to separate the different parts.

What i want  is something to do a simple upload to a form like:

<html>
  <form name="upload" action="upload1.php" method="POST" 
ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
  Select the file to upload: <input type="file" name="userfile">
  <input type="submit" name="upload" value="upload">
   </form>
<html>

with the PHP to handle it:

<?php
 $uploaddir = 'uploads/'; // Relative path under webroot
 $uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['userfile']['name']);
 if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
 echo "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.\n";
 } else {
 echo "File uploading failed.\n";
 }
?>
