Now you're reaching that part I was talking about that is offered very
differently in PHP than "regular" libcurl.

I believe you pass on a hash array to the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS that is properly
crafted.

We have one example on the curl site that shows a file being posted this way:

        http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/php/examples/?ex=multipartpost.php

If you end up producing a better example code, I'm interested!
