If you are really doing a POST (as opposed to a GET), then why would you
urlencode it? Posted data can basically be anything, including binary
data. I suggest trying to remove the urlencode in the java applet, and
check if that works. If not, the first thing to find out is where
exactly things go wrong. You can use a tool like tcptrace to monitor
what is being sent by your applet.

Probably the best thing to do is to try and mimic what a browser sends
when a file is being uploaded. That way, php will manage any encoding
you use (in this case, you do have to use an encoding, perhaps base64),
and save the data in a file for you.

HTH,
Gertjan.
