Fulfilling a File Request via HTTP

If I generated a file request URL, is there any way to upload a file to it programmatically? For example, here is a pseudo-curl request that I imagine:

curl -XPOST https://www.dropbox.com/request/2PY0o6x3LlNSZy38Yjsj?name --data file.jpg

I know I could use the HTTP API to upload a file to an app folder instead, but it gives the client both read and write access to the target directory, and it requires me to share my access token if I’m to give this upload script to a friend or a colleague.

    Are you adding https transfers to respond to FileRequests soon?
