You might try comparing your program's behavior with the
output of the "Live HTTP Headers" extension for Firefox:
  https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3829

I am not familiar with how rapidshare handles these things,
but there might also be some cookies or javascript involved.

Another thing that might help is to set the CURLOPT_REFERER
option to the URL of the upload form, and enable the
CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER and CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION options.

Some sites will even check the User-Agent header as well,
so setting the CURLOPT_USERAGENT to something that looks
more like a browser can't hurt either.
