Sorry that I reply so late. There is my problem: the progress bar does work
fine with the -T command-line option. Unfortunately, I'm uploading files via
a form, in which case I'm using arguments in the type of
-F 'userfile$i=$val;type=image/jpeg'
And in this case, for a POST operation, the progress starts to display only
at the end of the upload... So I only get it for the download, which is the
fastest part of the operation - not too useful ;-) !
Allow me to do the long rant:
When you do HTTP requests, you get data _back_ in a response. It is the same
both for GET and for POST as all kinds of requests are (likely) to provide
data back.
curl displays data in the terminal by default. If you invoke curl to do an
operation and it is about to write data to the terminal, it _disables_ the
progress meter as otherwise it'd mess up the output with mixed
progressbar/response data.
So if you want a progress meter for HTTP POST requests, you need to redirect
the response output to a file, using shell redirect (>), -o [file] or similar.
As I showed before in this thread, this is not the same case for FTP upload as
that operation is not spitting out any response data.
