Okay, I added the call to CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE and backed out my changes. There
is still the problem where it thinks there is something to send, but there is no
socket opened to send it. But it does point out a flaw in my little hack, because
expectsend now equals 6, so it would fall through into the bad if conditional
anyway. This may also show some kind of bug where the postfieldsize isn't getting
set early enough if it isn't set by the user?
