OK. Here's a simple example. Here, the boundary string xYzZY is some 
more-or-less random alphanumeric string that does not appear anywhere in 
the form data.

Send an HTTP POST request to the URI 
$RTBASE/REST/1.0/edit?user=xxxx&pass=xxxx
(You can also use an authentication cookie received from a previous request)
ContentType: multipart/form-data; boundary="xYzZY"
ContentLength: set based on content below

Content of the POST looks something like:
--xYzZY
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="content"

id: ticket/new
queue: General
subject: Creating a new ticket
requestors: me at somewhere.net

--xYzZY--



Note that the HTTP Response will almost always have a status code of 200 
"OK". The first line of the response content includes a status code, but 
it is also likely to be 200 OK, even if the create request failed. But 
that's another issue...

Hope this helps,
