The API can be used by third party applications, and not only by web applicatiosn... In our case, we are using it for a client on a mobile device and thus no cookies are supported, that's why all information stored in cookies must be managed through the request. POST is just our election, we feel more conformate passing sensible information via POST.
About upfile --> that's right, the file contents.
upsourcetype = yes mime-type. Currently, only images can be uploaded, but we have plans to upload also video/audio.
I take the point to add examples to the docs!

I took a more thorough look through the docs, and have a question about those "tokens" needed for editting. Are you forced to pass those tokens through a post request? Or can you also use the old cookie way?
upfile=<path_to_file>. I assume that that should be the actual file contents?
upsourcetype = <file>. And what does this mean? The mimetype?
Thanks for your great work!
