Okay, so UAS for OS X can't upload--or download POST, only GET? So why is it even there?!?
I'll check out Curl on Monday, but a question first. If I find it to be helpful, can I script it? This needs to be part of a CGI that I'm writing and I only know AppleScript (please don't suggest PHP, etc. I don't have time to learn another language for this project). In the worst case, I can use the classic version of UAS because I already have it working. It's pretty fast once it's launched, but there's a noticeable delay when classic has taken a nap and UAS must re-launch. At least it works!
