Hi,

I am struggling to get going with uploading big files from my windows curl
command line. I know that some of the curl versions do not support big
files, so I made sure the current version does (as per the output of curl
-V below).
I even tried to do a -ignore-content-length, but in vain. What I observe
consistently is that, as soon as I issue the command to upload a 1Gb file,
curl responds with "We are completely uploaded and fine", which is quite
strange for me considering the size of the file to be 1Gb.
Fortunately this works on Mac and Linux, but unfortunate on windows.

OS details:
----------------
Windows 7 professional.
64 bit OS
Service Pack1.
Processor: Intel core i5
