I have gone through this documentation, but I don't see how to do what I
want to do.
My goal is to have someone on a Windows machine running a program be able to
transfer a file from the client workstation to my web server over HTTPS (but
without a browser). With CURL, does the client need to run this app on
their system? Of course, I would like this to be as simple and
non-intrusive as possible.

There is a command-line tool called curl that can do this.
See http://curl.haxx.se/docs/readme.curl.html
