QNetworkRequest file upload -- please help

[Runtime Technologies]

UPDATE:

Using WireShark I have been able to decipher that the $_FILES variable is just not being populated by the functioning of my QT application. I have read that this could potentially derive from an insufficiently high max_upload_size in php.ini, but with even the smallest file I see the same response.

Using WireShark I also "cleaned up" the data sent to the php script. I'm still confused, though, about the necessity of certain headers. The arrangement I have now appears to work from within my program, but WireShark responds with my coded php response to !$_FILES (echo "no file" and a further "Bad Request ... Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand." in a continuation.
