I agree with you that it would make sense. Currently, it only adds the file
name to a linked list and then it tries to read the file later, when making
the actual post...

We should add some file-is-present checks to the CURLFORM_FILE and
CURLFORM_FILECONTENT code.

You up to providing a patch for this?

It is actually kind of unnecessary. It allows you to specify a "normal"
formpart that gets its contents from a file. So instead of using
CURLFORM_PTRCONTENTS or CURLFORM_COPYCONTENTS, you can tell libcurl to read
the contents off a file instead, using CURLFORM_FILECONTENT.
