But there's hope. I filed a new PHP bug report today, and the bug is fixed in CVS. I guess we'll have to wait for PHP6 until a fixed released version is available, but that's better than nothing.

As a workaround, sending as file (CURLFORM_BUFFER/CURLFORM_BUFFERPTR CURLFORM_BUFFERLENGTH) works; though it causes the data to be unnecessarily stored in a temporary file on the server.

Thanks again for your help!

bye,
Till
