As Amit has suggested, you can send the contents of a file file_get_contents('foo.jpg') or you could do something more true to the spec and do something like:

POST /images

Content-Type: image/jpeg

Then for the body you just set the contents of the image (or whatever type of file you're firing off).

You can then pick that up in your PHP with:

file_get_contents('php://input');

That will have the contents of your image, so you can save it wherever.
