File upload and response with TclCurl

Can I use ::curl::transfer to send a file to a Web Server and get a
response from that Web Server?  For example I have an XML file that I
wish to send to an asp application, i.e, http://10.10.20.11/hisap.asp.
The web server then returns an Acknowledgement message indicating
whether he was happy with the message or not.

Something like: ::curl::transfer -url http://10.10.20.11/hisap.asp
-file myfile

returns 0.  I need the response from the remote application.

On the same subject, do I have to send it as a file or can I send it
as a buffer from within my Tcl script?

Any help is appreciated

I am guessing the asp app will expect the file to be sent
as if you had been in a web page with a form and a submit
button, in that case you need to do something like this:


set fileContent "This is what we will send as if it was the content of a fil
e"

curl::transfer -url http://10.10.20.11/hisap.asp -bodyvar ack -post 1
-httppost [list name "name"   bufferName noFile.txt           \
buffer $fileContent contenttype "text/plain"]
-httppost [list name "submit" contents "send"]

puts "Server acknowledgment:"
puts $ack

Actually, believe it or not, they just want the message (XML) and they
will then send back a response (XML).  Perhaps -bodyvar is what I
need.  I had attempted to use  -writeproc.  That works well as long as
everything is at the global level.  But as soon as I try to work
inside a namespace, I get the message "Failed writing body".

Thank you for your help
