From reading the comments, it sounds like you're going in the direction of using sockets directly. Don't do that. Use an HTTP client library. The basic HTTP protocol is simple enough that the sockets approach is workable for a rudimentary client, but you won't support features like HTTP keepalives, proxy servers, encryption (https), HTTP/1.1, compression, chunked encoding, or 100 continue without completely reinventing the wheel.

Use libcURL. When writing in C, uploading a file to an HTTP server is only a few dozen lines of code, including boilerplate.
