You'll find the data in 'log/server.input'. When I tried a command line like
"../src/curl -T README -C 2500 http://localhost:8980/hej.html"

I got a log/server.input that contains:

---- start ----
PUT /hej.html HTTP/1.0
Range: bytes=2500-
User-Agent: curl/7.6-pre4 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl 7.6-pre4 (SSL 0.9.5)
(ipv6 enabled)
Host: localhost:8980
Pragma: no-cache
Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, */*
Content-Length: 161

of the ftp server. It uses a simple syntax that is left to
               describe here!

FIX:

  * Make httpserver.pl work when we PUT without Content-Length:
---- end ----

So that means it worked, right? That means you can do what you want to do,
even if it takes one extra operation to get the initial size?
