That's an example application, although I don't think there's anything
specific to discommend it if it works for you.

There are others available. Try searching Zope.org's products listing:
there are several document management/file library systems.

And of course Plone/CMF.

There is a script called site_load.py or some such that comes with Zope
that does this using the Zope.app method.

If you really want to use httplib, you have to make the value of one of
the parameters you send the contents of the file you want to upload,
which is probably just as simple as dumping the contents into it. Then
treat that parameter as a file on the Zope end and you should be set.
(You might try to name the parameter 'name:file' to suggest a type.)

If that doesn't work, people on the Python groups/lists should be able
to be more helpful as to the use of httplib. Also check zopelabs.com for
recipies.
