Not to be contentious, but there are several points to be made:

1. With a 5 minute search I found the following three pages that
explain how one can implement a binary file transfer under a web
session:

It would appear that most of the grunt work has been done towards
alleviating a lot of OLC heartache for Cambridge users.

3. I already volunteered my services to the OLC team. I won't go into
detail on RAS; suffice it to say my offer was brushed off.


The brush-off might have something to do with the fact that all of these
"solutions" are specific to IIS/ASP running on Windows servers, when I
believe OLC runs Apache on Linux servers. That said, binary file upload
is pretty trivial to implement using the standard mechanisms provided in
HTML/HTTP, which suggests they have other reasons for not doing so...
