Parse.com API create object with file

I'm trying to use Appcelerator Titanium with Parse.com service. Since there is no library for Titanium, I'm using the rest API of Parse.

A Class object on Parse can have a field of type "File". How do I post a file (blob object) to that field?

Here is a starter template application for using Parse with Appcelerator

https://github.com/aaronksaunders/parse-starter-appC

it wraps the parse API in a appcelerator alloy sync adapter

A helper method with allow you to upload the file and associate it with a specific object called a FileHelper. This FileHelper object will provide access to the image

var parseService = require('parseREST');
parseService.init();

file = Ti.Filesystem.getFile(Ti.Filesystem.resourcesDirectory, "iTunesConnect.png");
var blob = file.read();

parseService.uploadFile("image/jpeg", "iTunesConnect.png", blob).then(function(_results) {
    return parseService.createObject('FileHelper', {
        "nameKey" : _results.response.name,
        "fileData" : {
            "name" : _results.response.name,
            "__type" : "File"
        }
}).then(function(_results2) {
    console.log("FileHelper Object: " + JSON.stringify(_results2));
},function(_error)
    console.log("ERROR: " + JSON.stringify(_error));
});

The results should look something like this:

{
    "createdAt": "2015-05-11T15:30:52.004Z",
    "objectId": "yLPdeXDinq"
}
