Hi Jeff,

thank you for your response the following method seems to be working
properly if i do not include any non-ascii characters in the filename
however when i do i still do encounter the CURL_READ_ERROR i am not sure if
CURL does handle multibyte characters correctly or if i am having some sort
of a conversion problem.

Thank You
-seymen
