Hi,
It struck me that when using globbing for uploads to a single URL, there is no
way to store the three responses in separate output files. Example:
curl -T '{one,two,three}' https://upload.example/ -o save-output
This command line makes curl overwrite the same target file multiple times and
afterwards only the last response remains. *sad face*
As a comparison, downloading with globbing in the URL allows us to use pieces
of the glob in the output name:
curl 'https://upload.example/{one,two,three}' -o 'save-#1'
I have now made a first PR and attempt to allow us to fix the initial omission
by adding a way to refer to upload globs separately for the output filename,
using ! instead of #. Like this:
curl -T 'file{1,2,3}' https://upload.example/ -o 'response-!1'
Maybe we can think of a better way?
