Right, I'm sure this is related to what function libcurl uses to open the
file.

Is _wopen() the one to use? I have no idea. Is it available for all compilers
and windows versions?

(Yes, this is the correct place to submit a bug and discuss fixes, but I
personally am Windows-less and Windows-unaware so I don't know these things.)
