There is no particular magic involved to post files using whatever charset
you want. curl has no idea of charsets, what they are or what you use.

Hm, the problem here is that the ';' letter in the type string is used as a
separator by the curl tool so it won't be used in the actual Content-Type
string passed to the server (which --trace probably show you pretty clearly).

At least that is what I suspect happens.

Does it *REALLY* receive only ?-letters or does it somehow display that in
the other end?

Use the --trace option to see what curl sends off to the remote end, I doubt
very much that it sends ?-letters in the data, unless of course your file
contains such ones. curl doesn't encode or translate the data in any way.

I think the fix you need here, is to somehow patch src/main.c:formparse() to
be able to get the charset string too when you specify the Content-Type like
that. I don't have an immediate fix or work-around. Sorry!
