I was testing an upload to a FTP server under the same file name,
such as:

  curl -T uploadfile -u user:passwd ftp://ftp.upload.com/

 But I mistakenly wrote -O instead of -T.

 So my request is inconsistent because -O is for a download and
I specified no file name.

 I got "Remote file name has no length!" which is ok.

 And curl returned a directory listing instead [should programs
interpret an incorrectly formed request?].

 But the return code is 0!

 I would definitely expect to have a meaningful return code
in this case, because the intended action was not achieved.
