I've been trying to figure out why http POST uploads are so slow with
libcurl. Upload speeds continually perform at about 1/10th of the expected
performance (or less). Many users have reported this behavior on our
forum. I suspect it has a lot to do with CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE being set to
16k. Uploads to these same servers through other means (JavaScript for
example) reach their expected throughput. The code in question can be seen
here:

https://github.com/MediaFire/mediafire-fuse/blob/master/utils/http.c (at
approx line 314)

Assuming the issue is the 16K buffer limit, are there any other options?
Asking users to recompile a custom libcurl with a larger buffer size is not
very palatable.
