Post file to server

[Tapestes]

I've got a .wav file on my machine. I want to upload that file (filename and file location never changes) to a url where REST is being used, but I'm having a really difficult time teasing out how this should be done. The request is supposed to make use of multi-part/form data. After uploading, the service will respond and I need to collect that data. I've got a hodgepodge of code and I just haven't made any progress.

From what I can tell a) I probably can't use upload with the POST method b) I might need to save my wav file as a bytearray, but I have no idea how to do that c) as is obvious, I'm fairly lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tap

function postFileAndRetrieveTranscript():void 
{ 
	var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("my address here");
	request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
	request.contentType = 'multipart/form-data';
	fileToPost = File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath("recording.wav");
	fileToPost.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler); 

	try 
    { 
        fileToPost.upload(request); 
    } 
    
	catch (error:Error) 
    { 
        trace("Unable to upload file.");
		fileToPost.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
    }
} 

function completeHandler(event:Event):void 
{ 
    trace("uploaded");
	
	var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);
	var transcript = new URLVariables(loader.data).success;
	
	trace("transcript: " + transcript);
