Ah, ok. I'm starting to understand what you've been saying all the time! ;-)

If you only want to create a directory on the serverm then of course NOBODY
should be used, as otherwise it expects a transfer to be done and based on
your info, I don't think you want that.

However, I don't see any good reason to create the 'bar' dir unless there is
any file in it, and if there is one or more files in it you can simply send
them and ignore the "dir-only" case.

Yes.

I think libcurl should return an error if you try to upload (without NOBODY
set to non-zero) when the URL has no file part.
