No, we will need to send some HTTP headers. Unfortunately there is a little 
bit of work here, but nothing I would imagine as challenging for you. I'm 
trying to think where the specs for HTTP headers are... probably at w3c.org. 
Anyway it is a matter of sending a few strings and it is more secure and 
generally better than FTP.

I sent you the files. The point is that we can assemble an HTTP header and we 
can send other parameters as instructions to the file.
