* An example source code that issues a HTTP POST and we provide the actual
* data through a read callback.
*
* Please be aware of the fact that the size of the posted data MUST be
* specified before the transfer is being made (with CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE).
* This requirement will change when libcurl starts supporting chunked-encoded
* sends.
*
* This example requires libcurl 7.9.6 or later.
