I used stlen() > 0 because it is more expressive and clearly indicates the
intent.
And yes, in modern days most compilers will optimize it.
But if the consensus is that the "if(file && *file)" is better than "if(file &&
strlen(file) > 0)" then we can go that way.
(Personally, I would prefer using some macro like "is_empty_str(file)" instead
of *file, but it probably doesn't make sense to create it just for one case)

Sure, I can create a PR.

Not necessarily, most compilers will optimize if(strlen(file)>0) into the
equivalent of if(*file) even at -O0 optimization level (even GCC 4.1 does that
according to godbolt.org). It might still be worth doing though for more
arcane compilers on platforms that curl build on.
