To use http the server at the other end needs to know what you are 
trying to do. Given it already publishes an Ajax interface I'd have 
thought it was unlikely to also have a raw http interface for file uploads.

Does the server have a page that accepts post requests to upload files?
If not it won't recognize your post request and possibly just ignore
it or hopefully send you an http error back. Did you check the http 
error code returned?
