We do not have "file(UPLOAD" but we do have "ctest_submit(FILES ..." -- it
is possible to hack together a ctest script that will send a file to a URL
via http post like we do with xml files as CDash submissions.

Still, it would be a worthy feature request to add this functionality to the
cmake file command. Then you could do in one line what it probably takes 20
right now to do with a ctest_submit hack.
