Dear libcurl Developers,

I am trying to implement a simple PUT program (see attached and below).
If you run the program, you will see the following output:

* Connected to madeup.com (208.87.33.151) port 80 (#0)
> PUT / HTTP/1.1
Host: madeup.com
Accept: */*
Content-Length: 46
Content-Length: 46
Expect: 100-continue

Two questions:
  1) What is that 2nd "Content-Length: 46" doing there?
  2) Why does the string "Content-Length: 46" end up in my uploaded PUT
file?

Now look at line 54 in the source code (INFILESIZE_LARGE), currently
commented out. If I un-comment it, my output changes to:
   .
   .
   .
Content-Length: 46
Content-Length: 577733969588518958

And that goofy 2nd "Content-Length" line ends up in my uploaded file!

Help, please!

Thank you.
