Rapidshare API with PowerShell

Question

Answer 1

Turns out there is a tiny section in the API Documentation that says if you use the POST method all parameters need to be passed in the body. I wrote a function that uploads to RapidShare in PowerShell, i hope this helps people in the future cause this was VERY annoying.

function Upload-RapidShare([string]$File,[string]$Name)
{
     $FreeUploadServer = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "http://api.rapidshare.com/cgi-bin/rsapi.cgi?sub=nextuploadserver"
     Invoke-RestMethod "http://rs$FreeUploadServer.rapidshare.com/cgi-bin/rsapi.cgi" -Body  "sub=upload&login=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD&filename=$Name&filecontent=$File" -Method Post
}
