I could find it out from the user notes below the manual. It seems that the multipart mode is triggered when the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS parameter is an array, not a string, and to pass a file one has to put it like "@filename". User notes mention it, while the manual itself does not. Also, it is not clear (if possible) how to send a form in multipart mode when the file is empty (sometimes that's needed). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=37760&edit=1
