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/2...

Hmm. In my use case, the auth token could potentially fall into untrusted hands. I did not see anything in the API that would let me limit token permissions to strictly uploading a file. It seems like the token would be granted read as well as write permissions, plus some account-related stuff as well.

Is there a way to restrict a token to only permit uploading and no other access? Thanks!
