Hi Edi,
while file uploads only make sense with form data, I could see how one would encounter an API that uses PUT with form data. I have not seen such an API myself, but I see no reason not to support such APIs. Do you?

First off, it seems that DRAKMA restricts the use of file upload

the right thing, as the HTTP standard does not restrict the use of

I think you're mixing up two things - request bodies and parameters. Drakma doesn't disallow request bodies - that's what CONTENT is for. But Drakma simply doesn't know what to do with file parameters if you're not sending a POST request as they only make sense with form data.
I don't think the patch is useful.
Peter, why are you not using :CONTENT?
Cheers, Edi.
