I don't think it is. The last time I checked the curl module source code, it
did not provide enough functionality for this feature.
libcurl itself offers this, it is just a matter of making the PHP module use
the correct primitives.

Because the file name field of a file-upload multipart is supposed to have
the full file name.
This too can be altered if you use libcurl directly, but here too, this is
not a feature that the PHP/CURL module uses/knows about so you need to
improve it in order to get this functionality.
