Request.Post ?

"Request.Post only deals with application/x-www-form-urlencoded and multipart/form-data" content type.

For other content type (like application/json), you must read it manually from the standard input."

So you'll need to set the content-type to one of the above, when sending the Post, to read it in Request.Post, or
sPostData = Read #File.In Request.ContentLength '(I think.)
