You forgot the magic @ letter! Try:

   curl -F uploaded_file=@/home/tpost/desktop/patch -F go=Upload [url]

This a broken http server (and yes lighttpd has been reported to be this
broken in the past), you better try the same operation without the Expect:
header:

  curl -H Expect: -F uploaded_file=@/home/tpost/desktop/patch -F go=Upload [url]
