Notes

The width and height of the photo must be the same number of pixels.

The API user must have photo uploading permission.

The source photo must be a jpg, gif, or png.

The photo file may not be larger than 20MB.

The file upload methods accept multi-part forms. To build a multi-part form concatenate the individual sections together separated by a boundary. Then take the length of the resulting body and use that as the Content-Length for the submission.
