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?

I'm also on vacation, so just a quick response:

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.
