Hi again Joshua! My scripts tell me it was 3+ years ago since your previous

Yes, I believe this is due to a complete oversight of this problem by me when
CURLFORM_STREAM was introduced!

No, the rewinding feature was introduced exactly for this kind of use case,
when the application handles the data and the protocol forces libcurl to send
the data more than once.

The oversight was that I didn't consider the CURLFORM_STREAM case and the need
to rewind that as well.

Would it work for you with calling the seekfunction for this?
