A successful PUT is one that gets a 2xx response code back. Your description
is a fully legal and possible case where libcurl gets to send off data before
it gets and reads the response from the server. It's neither wrong nor
unusual. You simply cannot use the 'ulnow' value of the progress callback as a
marker for success simply because it grows beyond 0.
