me very interesting to make RIA's Applications; in fact i'm making
a little Employees Application for my company and i'm trying this
technology and of course i need the functionality that i asking

Answer 1

I haven't tried this, but I believe what you could do is
append
requestHeaders to the urlrequest object that you pass into
the file.upload()
method. The requestHeaders is an array of name/value pairs
that would be
included with your post. At least in theory, I believe that
shoudl work.
Good luck.
