So don't simplify your needs then. You want this as a multipart formpost too,
right?

And I asked you in what ways curl_formadd() doesn't answer your questions.

You want to make a multipart formpost, yes.

Yes I can, and it used to be the only way we provided an easy way to do it,
but now I can also say: Chris Combes is your friend, as he made it possible
to do "file uploads" using multipart formposts with curl_formadd() in curl
7.9.8.

Check the CURLFORM_BUFFER and associated options here:
