I wish I could provide the test case but in this case I log on to the server, it gives the the secure token which I use later to do the file upload. I call the http-request with :method :post, :form-data t, :content-length t. The rest are parameters to the POST.
Anyway, I'll keep an eye on it and when I can I'll provide the test case.

Of course not.

I'd need a reproducible test case to say more about it.
