Cannot Simulate POST _FILE

[dashawk]

Can't seem to process Input file types.

Here is my snippet:

    $this->load->helper('Requests');
    Requests::register_autoloader();

    $url = 'http://www.myurl.com/api/pictures';
    $data = array('fileUpload' => $_FILES);
    $request = Requests::post($url, array(), $data);

This snippet cannot get the $_FILES.

$this->load->helper('Requests');
Requests::register_autoloader();

var_dump($_FILES); // ?

$url = 'http://www.myurl.com/api/pictures';
$data = array('fileUpload' => $_FILES);
/* maybe @see http://bit.ly/1hwPXIY
*/
$request = Requests::post($url, array(), $data);

Can't seem to process Input file types.

Requests is not used for incoming data like $_FILES, but rather for sending requests. You'll need to handle $_FILES yourself, then pass the data to Requests.

See #34 for adding support for sending files (which is not the same as working with $_FILES).
