Upload image to Twitter with REST API

I am trying to upload an image to Twitter and make it appear automatically, meaning not needing to click "Show Photo". I am able to post a status and image using POST statuses/update_with_media. That is fairly easy to do, but it still does not appear "inline." The documentation shows an example of uploading an image with twurl but I am working on Windows. Does anyone have an example with jQuery or a REST client showing how to us the https://upload.twitter.com/1.1/media/upload.json service? I tried putting the parameters in the url and the body but each time I get Bad Request.

Example

Even though I spend about 15 hours working on this, I found a "solution" 10 minutes after posting on SO. It seems that the size of the image plays a role. I just used statuses/update_with_media using a larger image and it appeared inline. A slightly smaller image does not appear inline. I would still like to know how to call the service though.
