The main problem was understanding!!...i had to create the multi-part form data manually and i wasn't really sure how.

Gotta love the internet.

Pretty much all SE xml/http stuff is done manually.
Hence under 600Kb exe, which is pretty fast, too:-).
Importing something like DOM as TLB (early binding) would make it possibly incompatible and bloated, doing late binding would make it slower..

Gotta get your hands dirty if you want the results:-)

All my other XML-RPC calls were done by using a standard interface that comes with Mozilla.

At present, my jar file is about 18KB, or about 100KB expanded. But I haven't done much optimisation.

Does it mean there has to be java support installed on the client's machine?

FYI, approximately 96.39% of those who browse smugmug have Java. So you're probably golden.

Can I have you take a look at this issue (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=7826), please?

I may be wrong here, but while jar files are typically related to java. A jar file is actually just an archive format like zip, cab, etc.

You can actually rename a jar with a zip extension and open it.

So for the stuff I am doing, no I don't think they need java support.

The reason I'm asking is that 100Kb of yours is a fairly small deployable. Unless you do it in K&R C-style (or console app), windows exes are usually pretty hefty..
The only option to do a lot of things in a such a small package is to rely on some sort of a runtime support (windows host, VBrun, Java, .NET, PHP, Perl, etc.) ...
Just curious..:scratch

The reason why it's so small is that it's a Mozilla Firefox extension. So obviously it needs Mozilla Firefox installed, then it just uses javascript, xml and existing mozilla interfaces.

It's pretty cool stuff.
