Well, the protocol itself supports this AFAIK. libcurl does not, however, as
it doesn't support chunked-encoded transfers in that direction, so thus it
must tell the remote server the size of the upload prior to the actual
upload. Therefore it needs to have access to the file (or at least know the
size of the stream beforehand).
But I guess that using PUT would make more sense if you wanna upload a
stream.

You always get the response in a callback, "streamish". It makes no
difference if you get a static remote file or if you get a remote stream.
I hope this helps!
