The original problem seems to be solved, but a new problem found with
version 7.10.8

I am almost sure I have found the cause to my intermittent errors thanks to
the seemingly much better debug support in version 7.10.8. I am not
completely sure because very rarely error #56 still occurs, but I think I
can live with it.

The problem was in the lines:

    /* if we don't provide POSTFIELDSIZE, libcurl will strlen() by
       itself */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE, strlen(postthis));

From the explanation in the comment I thought that I have to enter strlen()
here.
I changed it to include the ending zero

    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE, strlen(postthis)+1);

and everything seems to be solved for 7.10.7!

But a new problem aroses with ver. 7.10.8. It does not post my data!

The server I want data sent back from is a perl script:
                "https://www.my.server/cgi-bin/lp.cgi"
The data I want to post is
               user=user_name&pwd=password&file=file_name&dest=@CF01
version 7.10.7 posts the data 7.10.8 does not post it! here is the relevant
part of the debug info for

7.10.7 (which works)
