No it isn't.

Nah. Right now SessionHandle->uploadbuffer is a fixed array with a static
size, but it should be fairly easy to modify that to an allocated buffer for
which the size would be configurable with a setopt() option.

Perhaps we should rather just change the size internally at our own choice
depending on internally known details? After all, libcurl knows that SFTP will
benefit from huge buffers while an application cannot possibly know this. The
question is then perhaps only what a "large buffer" should be and perhaps have
that option set by the application?
