Why do you set the custom header for this command? curl will automaticly
enable chunked transfer-encoding for this operation, since the size of the
data is not known when it comes from stdin, and then the Content-length
header makes the request very strange (and not http-compliant).

Another approach to circumvent this whole problem would be to make the
command like this instead:

 echo -en 1 > /tmp/done && curl -T /tmp/done \
http://someserver/directory/filex.txt && rm /tmp/done
