Summary: Post quote operation to rename fails in Windows

Initial Comment:
There is already posting done for this issue(http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2011-02/0322.html) and below is the abstract.

We are using CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE option to rename a file after transfer of the file using sftp protocol.But the POSTQUOTE option for rename is failing when the sftp server is runing in Windows O/S.The same code works perfectly when the sftp server is Linux or Sun OS. Following is the Log from the server side.

It was suggested that libcurl uses libssh2 to do the SFTP operations and the thing libcurl can do here is to make sure that libssh2_sftp_close() is done on the file properly before it does the POST_QUOTE operations. Since this can be supported by libcurl,it would be better for libcurl to do the libssh2_sftp_close first followed by the execution of the rename operation instead of any server specific implementation.

Currently this works fine in Linux because linux doesnt care about the open files..Suppose Linux also makes sure that the file should be closed to perform the rename operation,the entire post quote operation supported by libcurl will fail on Linux and Windows.

So its better if libcurl could support the behaviour of doing the libssh2_close before doing the postquote operations.
