Because the problem with PUT etc is when the app is creating a file handle
(FILE *) that it passes to the library to use and in Windows DLLs can't read
from handles created by an app.

CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR and CURLFORM_FILE takes only the file name from the app, and
then the DLL has no problem.

As you might've spotted, I've taken the liberty of mentioning your binding in
the libcurl section on the curl web site.
