Uploading files in RESTful way?

I'm designing a RESTful API that should handle binary file uploads.
Should this be done the same way as html form upload or is there a better way?

A good way is to upload the binary information using streams. You could have a look at the JeCARS client project. To be exact the JC_RESTComm.java class performs the upload.

Take a look at the Amazon api for an idea. It uses a PUT query and then through sendREST it sends the content. Uploading files to Amazon S3 with REST API
