Hm, ok, libcurl reads files in these situations:

 - cookie file reading (lib/cookie.c)
 - rfc1867 http form upload (lib/formdata.c)
 - netrc handling (lib/netrc.c)

curl opens files to (all in src/main.c):

 - redirect errors on --stderr
 - read -d post data
 - read -w output format strings
 - read -K config
 - write URL data
 - read URL upload data
