      (Requires curl)

      1. Create a webservice with "Can upload files" enabled.
      2. Create a webservice token for a user
      3. Create a test file: 

        echo "Actually vegemite on croissants is quite nice" > upload.txt

      4. Test uploading the file (replace the token and url with your own): 

        curl -F token=927784a730aba681d84bbf6c13e1d3da -F filearea=draft -F file=@upload.txt -v http://damyon.moodle.local/im/webservice/upload.php

      Check for a valid json response with a generated item id.
      e.g.

      [

      {"component":"user","contextid":"28","userid":"16","filearea":"draft","filename":"upload.txt","filepath":"\/","itemid":955505089,"license":"allrightsreserved","author":"Officer Barbady","source":""}

      ]

      Run unit tests:
      ./vendor/bin/phpunit webservice/tests/externallib_test.php

      Find a way to send any files to any draft file area in Moodle and use them in the web service calls.

      Original issue description:

      Sending files to hub currently works but the design has been refused by Petr because it uses ws token in a POST request with $_FILES. After talking with Dongsheng and Petr, the conclusion was we will be sending files by web service (probably called in a cron script, if the file is too big). And biggest files will be chunked in order to be sent. It implies to write a new file web service design.
      Downloading files could need to follow the same design...
