Can the CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION ever be called when CURLOPT_UPLOAD is set to 1?

I'm uploading data by passing the remote URL in CURLOPT_URL and providing data to upload through my CURLOPT_READFUNCTION. Now I was wondering if there are any protocols that actually return data through the CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION after the upload has completed?

For example, when uploading to HTTP I need to listen to the CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION as well because after the upload has completed, a HTML page generated by PHP script that handles the upload is returned. However, when doing HTTP uploads I'm not using CURLOPT_READFUNCTION and CURLOPT_UPLOAD at all but just CURLOPT_MIMEPOST.

That's why I was wondering if this is some sort of rule, i.e. is it safe to assume that CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION will never be called when CURLOPT_UPLOAD has been set to 1 or are there protocols that use CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION even when upload has been activated by setting CURLOPT_UPLOAD to 1?
