Our read function receives 16384 byte buffer from CURL, fills it and returns number of bytes read. If we reach end of upload body - we return what was left to read - for example 2304. Returning 2305 (read bytes count incremented by one) for some reason fixes this issue.

I don't know what's going on here but the server hang described there is
if you return 0 from the read function prematurely, and as described
that's usually because you've sent less than you stated. For example
that could happen if you open the file in the default translation mode
and forget to specify binary mode. When you call fread it returns 0
early even though it hasn't read the complete file because EOF char has
already been reached.
