It would help if you would show us some basics on how you do this.

I'm not at all aware of how libwww works or how it differs from libcurl in
these aspects, so I'm afraid it doesn't give me much clues.

different size than what was passed to it, which libcurl considers an error.

Uh? Then how do you pass the post data (and size) to libcurl?
