One thing to be aware of is that there is a (rather small) limit to the
amount of data that can be HTTP POST'ed through a squid proxy. The
symptom is that it just fails, and then it's time to check if there's
a proxy sitting in between somewhere..
This has nothing to do with curl, of course. Same thing happens from a
browser. But it's something to keep in mind.
