I'm sorry, but I don't buy this explanation. libcurl itself only supports HTTP
PUT by streaming the upload, and I'm quite sure the PHP layer doesn't add any
major magic to that. Thus, the size of the PUT upload has no relevance, it
always takes roughly the same amount of memory!

I don't know enough PHP/CURL to tell you exactly why.

This is not neccesary. CURLOPT_UPLOAD with HTTP implies PUT.

I advice you to never ever fiddle with the Content-Length: header yourself.
You only risk damaging things and libcurl always adds that header itself.

There's really no reason to do this.
