I would very much like this functionality to be implemented in PHP5 as I need
it for a project I am currently developing. Thanks.

Since curl's ability to guess the MIME type of a file by extension is extremely
limited, this represents a very important enhancement for any upload where the
MIME type is used.

This is not bug but feature request.
Passing just "@/path/to/file.ext" works fine.
The content-type is detected by curl (if it can).
Reclassified.

Description:
------------
>From the cURL manual:
If you want the contents to be read from a file, use <@filename> as contents.
When specifying a file, you can also specify the file content type by appending
';type=<mime type>' to the file name.
However, specifing MIME types is not currently supported within PHP.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$ch= curl_init('http://www.example.com/fupl.php');
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,
array('field1'=>'1','field2'=>'2','file'=>'@filepath.ext;type=application/xml'));
$result= curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
Expected result:
----------------
The file should be uploaded with a Content-Type: application/xml header.
Actual result:
--------------
The entire call fails.
