 It's impossible to post files by http using cURL via the WordPress API.

 If you look at the code in the ''setup_handle'' method in
 ''Requests_Transport_cURL'' class found in the ''/wp-
 includes/Requests/Transport/cURL.php'' file, you'll see that the POST data
 is always converted to a string using the PHP ''http_build_query''
 function. However, according to the PHP manual at
 [http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php], the value passed
 to CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS must be an array if files are passed to this option.
