This was all resolved in that issue, but just to summarize for the list here: it was a regression in curl and there's a fix already. Thanks Daniel for your (as usual) prompt digging into the problem (and likewise to Stefan for the actual fix).

Ultimately the issue will be fixed by moving to a different version of libcurl, but here's an easy workaround in the meantime, with a small doc cleanup I found along the way.

  [1/2]: http: reset POSTFIELDSIZE when clearing curl handle
  [2/2]: INSTALL: bump libcurl version to 7.21.3
