That's true. It is also mentioned in the TODO file. I once wrote down some
jots about it here: http://curl.haxx.se/dev/HTTP-PUT-stdin.txt

No one has expressed any such intentions in public. At least not that I know
of.

It wouldn't take very much (an exact estimate is of course very hard since
it'll differ from person to person based on experience and knowledge about
libcurl internals and protocol details etc). I figure the most important part
would be to bail out gracefully in case the remote server doesn't support
it...

I would be willing to assist and help out!
