Yeah, the MIME stuff is currently un-maintained but last I checked is
practically functional.

You can definitely use the HTTP client(s) in cpp-netlib to push data
via PUT/POST -- you just have to craft the appropriate requests. At
the moment the way to do it is terribly inefficient, and I hope to be
able to address those issues soon.

Having said that, the fileserver example can be extended to support
PUT/POST, but it wouldn't be a simple example anymore if I do that. ;)

feel free to ask on the list again and we'll try to help you out as
