Thanks for the tip. ZPublisher.Client looks very promising, but it
doesn't work for me. It looks as if the program is choking on something.
Very small files (text files or jpegs are what I tested) will
successfully upload, but the script always chokes with an error anyway.
Trying to upload "large" files (anything over a few dozen kb, say) cause
the script to just hang and spin its wheels. I have to kill the process.
The file does not get uploaded and no Traceback is created.

Here's a sample command line and the resultant Traceback from an attempt
to upload a small text file:

====================
% python Client.py -u me:mypasswd http://localhost:8080/manage_addFile
id=smallTextFile.txt file:file=/home/damon/tmp/smallTextFile.txt

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./Client.py", line 563, in ?
    main()
  File "./Client.py", line 556, in main
    headers, body = apply(f,(),kw)
  File "./Client.py", line 109, in __call__
    if hasattr(v,'read'): return self._mp_call(kw)
  File "./Client.py", line 231, in _mp_call
    self.handleError('', ec, em, headers, response)
  File "./Client.py", line 170, in handleError
    raise t, RemoteException(t,v,f,l,self.url,query,ec,em,response)
bci.ServerError: 302 (File: Unknown Line: Unknown)
302 Moved Temporarily for http://localhost:8080/manage_addFile
====================

Any idea what's happening?
