As far as I can tell it says it right here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OSM_Protocol_Version_0.5#Basic_Methods_for_Object_Access_and_Manipulation

To create you use PUT and it returns an ID.

There are several tools in SVN to upload files directly and library to
programmatically create/modify/delete objects in the database, why are
you reinventing the wheel?

Have a nice day,
