Sigh... I had tried this and it didn't work. As it turns out, it was
because the char* was being free'd and curl wasn't liking that.
Restructured things and it's just fine now. Curl not copying strings is
particularly unfriendly to C++, but I can understand the memory and speed
advantages.

I would suggest making a note of it under CURLOPT_UPLOAD, saying that you
should specify the remote filename in the URL. Although, really, it is
common sense and it was just a bug that prevented me from using it when I
first tried.

Correction, it's not bad HTML... it's just not there at all. Here's a
snippet of what I see (under CURLOPT_READFUNCTION):

----
plied with nmemb number of bytes. Your  function  must
return  the  actual number of bytes that you stored in
LOPT_INFILE,  the name CURLOPT_READDATA was introduced
in 7.9.7.
----
The first two lines are from the CURLOPT_READFUNCTION description, the last
two are from the CURLOPT_READDATA description.
Only SE is correct. Both the US and AU mirrors are broken. If you want me
to mail curl-web about this, I'll go ahead and take care of it.
Thanks for the response. I'll go look stupid somewhere else now :)
