Thanks for your reply Ray,
Following is my build system configuration (64bit ubuntu 12.04). The
customer's configuration is also the same but just that it is behind
an unknown proxy server.

>uname -a
Linux ramprasad-VirtualBox 3.2.0-23-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 10
20:39:51 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
>curl -V
curl 7.38.0-DEV (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.38.0-DEV
OpenSSL/1.0.1 zlib/1.2.3.4 libidn/1.23 librtmp/2.3
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap ldaps
pop3 pop3s rtmp rtsp smtp smtps telnet tftp
Features: IDN IPv6 Largefile NTLM NTLM_WB SSL libz TLS-SRP

I compile using curl-config --static-libs

The code which I had posted itself fails with "Transferred a partial
file" error.
The issue is not specific to any particular sample file.
That same code works fine in my system via squid proxy (but when I
tried FreeProxy, the FreeProxy service crashes almost every time. That
doesn't happen with filezilla! so I switched to squid)
I could not find what proxy is being used at the customer location.

Here is my observation:
When I upload a file using filezilla via http_proxy it uploads using
CONNECT and once it reaches 100% it waits for some time (probably for
the server to write the data to disc) and then shows the response from
server and then moves the transfer from queue to successful transfer
list.
When I upload the same file using the code I had posted, it also sends
the same FTP commands via proxy but the moment the read_function
returns 0, libcurl (or maybe the proxy) terminates the connection and
returns that error. The FileZilla server log says 'unable to send
reply to client'.

So I tried a dirty trick to workaround this. Instead of returning 0
where there is no more data to send, for about 40 callbacks I memset
the buffer to 0 and return nmemb*size. This also generates the same
error but only after the required amount of data + about 500KB of
zeros have been sent. I'm temporarily okay with this because when I
download I'll skip those extra 0s (i get the actual filesize from the
header). The downloading part is also written using libcurl and that
works perfectly. Only uploading is the issue.

I'll find out what proxy is being used from the customer and post it.
Will changing any of those timeouts help?

Thanks
Ramprasad
