CakePHP-HttpSocket-POST-File

Extension of the CakePHP HttpSocket Class with additional functionality for POSTing files.

Usage

1. Import the file in your Model or Controller:

   // Remember to place the file in your app/Vendor folder of your CakePHP project
   App::uses('HttpSocketWithFile', 'Vendor');
   

2. Instantiate the class:

   // Simple enough
   $HttpSocketWithFile = new HttpSocketWithFile();
   

3. Use as normal with the additional method for posting a file:

   $postData = array(
       'file'     => array('asset'=>'path/to/my/file'),
       'api_key'  => 'nhln3djhHKkjdfpPINLConlafs8koiLKDOISLilkdsljasdf',
       'username' => 'myUserName',
   );
   
   $response = $HttpSocketWithFile->postFile("http://myurl.com", $postData);
   

Keep in mind that the POST data must include an associative array of files to POST with the key being the field name and the value being the full path to the file.
