Yes. That's what the up-for-grabs label is for :-D

I would suggest taking a look at this super helpful post on multi part uploads:

http://blog.majcica.com/2016/01/13/powershell-tips-and-tricks-multipartform-data-requests/

Author wrote a Invoke-MultipartFormDataUpload function which appears to fulfill the rest api's requirement for rfc 1867 content format.

I think this would fit best as an appendex to Invoke-JiraMethod, since that itself is a wrapper for Invoke-WebRequest.

The Invoke-MultipartFormDataUpload would appear to suppliment the base function of iwr, so it would make sense that the jira specific wrapper for iwr would have this capability to enhance iwr (within the wrapper)

From there, several different type of "helpers" to feed invoke-webrequest with the multipart method could be written for file uploads and avatars for jira. Confluence/PS would benefit from this same enhancement.
