I think I'll change the docs to say that you also need to explicitly set the
POSTFIELDSIZE to zero if you want to do a zero-byte POST since we actually
otherwise imply that the read callback is gonna be used, and I think we should
still allow a POST to be done using the read callback even if the size is not
set prior to the transfer.

So, I deem this a bug in the docs. Fixing coming right up!
