For file uploads you don't need the ":FORM-DATA T" part.

                 :parameters `(("Name1" . ,name1)
                               ("Name2" . ,name2)
                               ("File" . ,file-name)))

Without knowing what "/some/uri", NAME1, NAME2, and FILE-NAME are this is hard to say. Is FILE-NAME really a pathname object?

Or maybe the receiving web server can't cope with chunked transfer encoding (like Apache 1.x)? Then you'll have to add

:CONTENT-LENGTH T

to the call, but note that this will force Drakma to compose the whole request body in RAM before sending it which might not work for /very/ large files.

HTH, Edi.
