If the file is posted as attachment (similar to file upload) it should
appear in the relevant form element as file. You can just use the method
.read() on it to get the data (or feed it into factory of image/file)

For this to work the data needs to be sent as 
enctype="multipart/form-data" (hopefully the cam does this).

Maybe you send all variables of the request to figure out.
