But maybe he want's to feed the binary directly
from the script?

Then it's basically a matter of supplying the right
headers in the beginning, right? I'm not a big
expert in this...

Maybe there is something more easy to read than
http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/cgi-bin/rfc/rfc2068.html ?

http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/http.html ?

Either way, it's not very Python specific.

I think you should send something like:

content-type:application/octet-stream\r\n
content-lenght:44\r\n
\r\n
binarybinarybinarydlkj=F6sdlkfjs=F6dfkg=F6sdg=F6dsfl

Am I right?

On other words:

###
binary =3D open(filename, 'rb').read()
l =3D len(binary)
type =3D 'application/octet-stream'

fmt =3D "content-type:%s\r\ncontentlenght:%i\r\n\r\n%s"

sys.stdout.write(fmt % (type, l, binary)
###

Anything missing?
