    copied!<p>I have a problem with a simple file upload post with cURL... I did it so many times but in this case I always get "417 Expectation Failed" from server. When I try to post with my browser it works 100% but with cURL not. </p> <p>That's my configuration:</p> <p>My simple test form that works:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form action="http://images.example.com/image_upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"&gt; &lt;input type="file" name="userfile" size="50"&gt; &lt;input type="submit" name="submit"&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>here the image_upload.php:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $uploaddir = '/var/www/images.example.com/images/'; $uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['userfile']['name']); if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) { echo "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.\n"; } else { echo "Upload failed"; } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>my cURL script (image_upload.sh) looks like this:</p> <pre><code>#!/bin/sh file=$1 result=$(curl -s -L -F "userfile=@$file;type=application/octet-stream;" "http://images.example.com/image_upload.php") echo $result </code></pre> <p>and here the server headers: </p> <pre><code>&gt; POST /image_upload.php HTTP/1.1 &gt; User-Agent: curl/7.18.2 (i486-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.18.2 OpenSSL/0.9.8g zlib/1.1.4 libidn/1.8 libssh2/0.18 &gt; Host: images.example.com &gt; Accept: */* &gt; Content-Length: 579 &gt; Expect: 100-continue &gt; Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----------------------------e237975526cf &gt; &lt; HTTP/1.1 417 Expectation Failed &lt; Connection: close &lt; Content-Length: 0 &lt; Date: Thu, 02 Feb 2012 21:29:22 GMT &lt; Server: lighttpd/1.4.19 </code></pre> <p>I don't know where the error is, maybe you can recognize it.</p>
