Also the same thing happens when using scp://. What I don't understand is if I
were to upload the file on the command line with scp without specifying a
filename but rather just a destination directory, the file would upload. So
why can't I expect curl to do the same when using the same protocol?

In addition, if I modify the test script and it with a slash at the end, it
also fails in the same way:
upload('sftp://domain.tld:/tmp/');

That does not explain why it fails when you try to upload to a directory. So
what you're saying is this is not a bug because it's not possible to do this
with curl and you must always specify a url with a filename to upload a file?
And if that's the case, why is it not possible to upload a file to a directory?

The CURLOPT_URL option is of course to generically set a URL to work with.
libcurl accepts whatever URL you set and will try to work on it once you ask
curl to perform on it.
A URL that ends with a slash is treated as a directory by libcurl when you're
downloading something from it. It will then (depending on protocol) ask for a
directory listing instead of trying to fetch a file with that name.
libcurl assumes the users knows what (s)he is doing and will try to perform the
requested operation on the given URL. Uploading to a directory name is probably
going to fail on most systems.

Could you elaborate as to why this would be a bad url? The documentation on
the curl website seems to indicate that you can specify a url without a
filename at the end but then the examples are not specific to upload:
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_setopt.html#CURLOPTURL
