Using HTTPI with Curb to do multipart file uploads with spnego
It took a while to find a library that handled spnego requests, as opposed to shelling out to a curl --negotiate. Found httpi to work well with the curb adapter.
The problem was that the documentation didn't really explain how to do file uploads withing the httpi request block.
Wasn't too much of a big deal, but I thought it may save someone else some time.
