Very strange. Because as I remember it, that was *the* solution for a
problem I had before the documentation was updated with this info. It
solved my problem when doing a no-content post. My case involved doing
multiple POST and GET requests in a row using the same handle, then
finally a no-content POST request.

What libcurl version do you have?

That's the exact issue I had, we solved it here on the mailing list
and Daniel added the notice in the documentation. The solution, which
worked for me, was to set CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE to 0.
