Actually I was thinking that curl needs error checking in (I believe) Curl_getFormData, which does the actual reading from the file. You'd probably have to percolate the error all the way back to curl_easy_perform and add some new CURLE_ error types for the various I/O things that could go wrong.

That's assuming curl doesn't do this somewhere already...

I see. That could be useful in some cases.
