Today I tried to upload a 5GB file using --data-binary from a machine with
800MB RAM (virtual machine). I got this message:
curl: option --data-binary: out of memory
After a lot of googling I find explanations about why `-d` and `-F` do this
(they have the build the formated request in memory) and recommendations to
use `--data-binary @large-file` -- but I am *already* using --data-binary...
does it suffer from the same issue? Is there any way to do this with curl,
or should I maybe be looking into something simpler (fixed HTTP header +
netcat maybe?)
Thanks.
