Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the reply. I have on more question. What is the code for this
command line:
curl -F "my_form[uploaded_data]=@index.xml"

is it equivalent to(?):

    curl_formadd( &formpost,
            &lastptr,
            CURLFORM_COPYNAME, "uploaded_data",
            CURLFORM_FILE, "/home/motoct/dev/junk/index.xml",
            CURLFORM_END);

    curl_easy_setopt( curl_handle,
                CURLOPT_HTTPPOST,
                formpost);

    curl_easy_perform(curl_handle);

The two are not exactly equivalent. My web server shows the two requests are
different.
