 From the server or proxy, either one.

I can't quite tell what FAILONERROR is doing. What I want is for the
upload to abort if an error is returned. Especially since an "error"
will often be 407--I can't make my users wait for 3 minutes of uploading
only to pop up a proxy auth dialog and then try again! No point in
transmitting 50 megabytes if the server ain't taking it. And yes, I can
do some magic in the header callback, but this seems so obvious I kind
of assumed there was already an option for it.

In response to your second email, yes, I can try out the nightly build
tomorrow. But I'm prepping a release of my software, so I'll need to
know exactly what fixed the problems and make those changes against
13.1--I can't risk any other changes. Unfortunately, I'm releasing real
soon now and can't wait for 13.2. Thanks for all your help-
