INFILESIZE is not a limit, it is the true and actual size of the file about
to get sent to the server. INFILESIZE is not used for POST.

If you use POSTFIELDS to do the POST then you don't need to worry about the
size unless the data is binary. Then you set the size of the binary chunk you
want to post with POSTFIELDSIZE.

If you want to provide the POST data using a callback instead of POSTFIELDS,
then you need to set the size with POSTFIELDSIZE, yes.

The next libcurl release will have full and working chunked transfer-encoding
support and thus you don't have to provide the size then anymore (not even
for PUT)...
