What kind of post do you want? A RFC1867 post?

This is not right. I read the man page right now and I realize it isn't
crystal clear in this matter.

The pointers passed in should be NULL if not previously set by libcurl. It
means this should probably look like:

 HttpPost* ppost = NULL;
 HttpPost* plast = NULL;

 curl_formparse("userfile=@/tmp/karte.jpg",&ppost,&plast);

^^^^ This sets a rfc1867-style post. You should only use one of them.

And you should pass the pointer to the list not to the last entry. Use the
ppost variable.

This is not necessary when doing rfc1867-style posts, as the formparse
function will already fix all that.

With these corrections, I'm sure it'll work as planned!
