SSL File Transfer

Ok let me clarify. I'm not expecting anything magical here. Just a file
transfer. ;)

The SSL server that I am transfering to is a bank server (outside of my
control). By default they would prefer to accept the transfer via HTTPS
and their CGI script. I was hoping for a way to script a POST operation to
get the file there.

I'm going to have to jump through some hoops to get the Secure FTP or SSH
to work for me on their end. I'd rather avoid this if I can find a simple
way to POST the file via HTTPS.

I tried WGET and realized that they call it GET for a reason. If there is
such a thing as WPUT that will run secure on SCO that might solve my
problem.

The RawQuery seems to be a possibility but the specifics of how it's going
to work seem vague. I'll have to look into this.

One option that I found seemed to point to OpenSSL and Kermit as a
solution but I have never had any luck compiling stuff on a SCO system. It
just never seems to work for me.

Anybody else have any bright ideas?
