Sure. What are the (API) alternatives then ?

Using a command line option to send a protocol specific command has two problems:
it isn't applicable to a programmatic API; it doesn't encapsulate & hide the
protocol specifics which is I think is most of the point of using a library like
CURL.

(ie. having different options to delete a file using HTTP, FTP and SFTP would
 seem to me to be a distinct problem in the current library.)
