52 <p class="level0">The long parameter <span Class="emphasis">upload</span> set to 1 tells the library to prepare for and perform an upload. The <a Class="emphasis" href="./CURLOPT_READDATA.html">CURLOPT_READDATA</a> and <a Class="emphasis" href="./CURLOPT_INFILESIZE.html">CURLOPT_INFILESIZE</a> or <a Class="emphasis" href="./CURLOPT_INFILESIZE_LARGE.html">CURLOPT_INFILESIZE_LARGE</a> options are also interesting for uploads. If the protocol is HTTP, uploading means using the PUT request unless you tell libcurl otherwise.
53 <p class="level0">Using PUT with HTTP 1.1 implies the use of a "Expect: 100-continue" header. You can disable this header with <a Class="emphasis" href="./CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER.html">CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER</a> as usual.
54 <p class="level0">If you use PUT to a HTTP 1.1 server, you can upload data without knowing the size before starting the transfer if you use chunked encoding. You enable this by adding a header like "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" with <a Class="emphasis" href="./CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER.html">CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER</a>. With HTTP 1.0 or without chunked transfer, you must specify the size. <a name="DEFAULT"></a><h2 class="nroffsh">DEFAULT</h2>
