So. Judging from this, I have a question. Would the following work?

URL=http://domain.com/full/path/to/file

Get the size of the existing file:

        curl -I $URL

We imagine the size in variable SIZE.

Put a part of a file (let's call it PART) onto the remote file starting where
the existing one ends:

        curl -T PART -C SIZE URL -v

It could work. At least this does a PUT request with a range header.
