You have to generate a unique boundary string, then send it in the
multipart/form-data header.  Then each file needs its own header block
within the overall message.  It's a bit involved.

It looks like Qt doesn't include any built-in class to prepare POST
requests.  Consider using the Form Post plugin at
http://www.tuckdesign.com/sources/Qt , or at least examine the method it
uses to construct a POST request when you use its addFile function.
