       Dim objRecord As ADODB.Record
       Dim strUrl As String, strFile As String
       strUrl = "http://local/Upload"
       strFile = "test2.txt"
       Set objRecord = New ADODB.Record
       Set objStream = New ADODB.Stream
       objRecord.Open strFile, "URL=" + strUrl, adModeReadWrite, _
          adCreateOverwrite, adDelayFetchStream
       objStream.Type = adTypeBinary
       objStream.Open objRecord, adModeReadWrite, adOpenStreamFromRecord
       objStream.LoadFromFile "C:\test.txt"
       objStream.Flush
       objStream.Close
       objRecord.Close
