Uploading File To Server Using C++ Http Request

The issue that I was having was actually relatively simple to fix. First I needed to add a user-agent, second I needed to define a content-length which was the length of the ENTIRE http request (not just the data portion). My finished HTTP Request then appears as:

Host: localhost
Content-Length: 800
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=WrbKitFormBoundaryXtRo8bh7ZpnTrTwd
User-Agent: 1337

--WrbKitFormBoundaryXtRo8bh7ZpnTrTwd
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="fileToUpload"; filename="testMac.cpp"
Content-Type: application/octet-stream

//SEND RAW FILE DATA HERE
