Our app is uploading files inside of SOAP requests and thus the
postdata can be quite large. While curl the app can upload postdata
from a file with --data-binary @/path/to/file I have 2 questions
regarding the use of this from libcurl:

1) It seems that even though curl can read the post data from a file,
that it is not buffered but rather loaded entirely into memory and then
sent.
2) I cannot see the way via libcurl to provide a file path to the
postdata to use. I think that this is the cause for #1 above, that the
@file construct is handled by the curl app itself.

Please advise,
