Net:HTTP post question

Heya all,

I am using Net::HTTP to do post actions to a server, but I have to
include a file in the post action.

I found this:

http://www.realityforge.org/articles/2006/03/02/upload-a-file-via-post-with-net-http

Is that really the only way to add a file to a POST action using Net::HTTP?

What I want is the equiv of adding a file in a file select box in a
form using post.

I just read that WWW::Mechanize has an interface for fileuploads, see
EXAMPLES.txt in the API doc:
