Warning: current version of Windows libcurl does not support Unicode! URLs and data — this is unpleasant, but you can encode/decode them for yourself. The main problem lies in file names.

So curl4delphi contains some emulation layer to circumvent this dire fact.

What does it mean?

  1. ICurlForm that uploads files keeps them open all the time.
  2. Every ICurlForm that uploads files claims to contain streams. So your choice of streaming technologies for sending is limited to Delphi TStream. Fortunately, you are free to choose a streaming technology for receiving and header processing.

OpenSSL

Fortunately, OpenSSL supports Unicode. CURLOPT_CAINFO just accepts file name in UTF-8, that’s all.
