Well, curl never messes with options like that so I can't see how they would
be different. Also, the send buffer is the exact same here in both cases.

In fact, *very* little differs between a HTTP PUT and a FTP STOR once the
data has started getting sent. Both ways is just a binary stream of data
being sent off as soon as the socket returns as writable from the select()
call.

RBramante, can you see the same effect that FTP upload performs "full speed"
?

Personally, I don't have any other tool that does HTTP PUT to compare speeds
with so I can't tell if it's just my server that is slow at receiving PUT.
