Aye. But like I said, I also tried doing it with CURLOPT_POST, which should
set it to regular form post, right?

No it's not, this is the URL for the UI uploads, not the server to server
uploads. Again, I'm not mimicking any exact form, they just gave me a URL
for S2S posts and told me the file needs to be "posted" there without any
further clarification. And requests for explanation have gone un-answered.

Right you are.

Hmmm... I suppose I could change tack and try to use the web page instead,
since I can't get any answer from them. If they were looking for a PUT for
the file, this would be much easier, but as it stands, it's 90% guesswork
on my part.
