This doesn't handle errors, but should post a file to a server as an octet stream:

import requests
res = requests.post(url='http://example.com/post',
                    data=open('example.file', 'rb'),
                    headers={'Content-Type': 'application/octet-stream'})

It is also possible to pass the file object as data without reading from it first.

I was stuck trying out files option in python. That never worked. This is the right method.
