If you want to use the content type "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", you can only use strings as values in the parameter list. You could, if you insist, read your file into a string if it's not too big. I have to say that this all sounds wrong, though.

I have been trying to get my lisp application to interface and upload a file to my drupal 7 website using Drakma.
So far I have been able to to connect to my drupal site and authenticate and store the session cookie (thank you Ryan Davis, I just found your response the other day). Here is the code I use to do that:
(with-output-to-string (stream) (setf drakma:*header-stream* stream) (let ((cookie-jar (make-instance 'drakma:cookie-jar))) (drakma:http-request "http://localhost:8888/?q=rest/user/login" :method :post :cookie-jar cookie-jar :parameters '(("username" . "login") ("password" . "password")) ) (drakma:http-request "http://localhost:8888/?q=rest/file" :method :post :cookie-jar cookie-jar :content-length t :parameters '(("file1" . #p"/Users/Mike/hello.png"));("file1" #p"/Users/Mike/Desktop/mario-gif.gif" :content-type "image/gif" :filename "mario-gif.gif")) :content-type "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" ;:parameters )))
This code successfully sends both posts but the second post does not actually upload the file (but it does return 200 OK, no errors). I have successfully uploaded to by drupal site using PHP Curl and in that code, I was only able to get it to work by using a content type of application/x-www-form-urlencoded (if I use a multipart/form-data request on my php page I get similar behavior to what I am now seeing with Drakma). This is why I added the line :content-type "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" to my second request (posted above) but it seems to have no effect.
Here is a copy of the posts I am making (as you can see in the second post it still uses multipart/form-data. Is there anyway that I can upload a file using Drakma using a content-type of application/x-www-form-urlencoded (I know this is not the recommended way of making this type of request but I think it may be the only way that my drupal site will accept the file).
