You can start with this:

var http = require('http');
var fs   = require('fs');

var req = http.request({
  hostname : HOSTNAME,
  port     : PORT,
  path     : UPLOAD_PATH,
  method   : 'PUT',
});

fs.createReadStream('somefile.zip').pipe(req);

You may need to perform some other actions, like proper error handling, setting Content-Type headers, etc.
