I work in a UNIX environment so I don't know for sure that this would work in the Windows world, but you might have a look at the curl -w/--write-out option. I think you could use

curl .... -w "%{size_upload}\n" > results.file

to print the size of the uploaded file and redirect that into results.file.

The other thing I check is the exit status. If it's zero, it worked.
