libcurl does no particular encoding of the file name but blindly assumes that
it can be put there as 8bit binary. RFC1867 section 3.3 suggests:
The original local file name may be supplied as well, either as a
'filename' parameter either of the 'content-disposition: form-data'
header or in the case of multiple files in a 'content-disposition:
file' header of the subpart. The client application should make best
effort to supply the file name; if the file name of the client's
operating system is not in US-ASCII, the file name might be
approximated or encoded using the method of RFC 1522.
... but no such encoding is being done currently.
