After starting from scratch with the Discourse Vagrant container and once again hitting a wall, I have decided to cut my losses and upload the users with the PHP Discourse API helper. Once the users are uploaded I will upload the avatars.

Can anyone possibly give me an example of what the curl syntax should look like to include the $\_FILES as part of the POST, please?
