Description:
------------
curl post will failed when post field's first char is '@'.

the ip address in the following code is www.example.com's. You can replace it with any address.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$msg = '';
if ( !empty( $_POST ) ) {
	$ch = curl_init();
	curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://192.0.32.10/" );
	curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1 );
	curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array( 'test' => '@aaaa' ) );

	if ( false === curl_exec( $ch ) ) {
		$msg .= 'curl error: ' . curl_errno( $ch ) . ".\nmessage: " . curl_error( $ch ) . PHP_EOL;
	}
	else {
		$msg .= 'OK!';
	}
	curl_close( $ch );
}
?>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<body>
<pre><?php echo $msg; ?></pre>
<form method="post" action="">
	<input type="submit" name="test" value="test!" />

As documented on the curl_setopt() manual page, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS will
assume that a value starting with @ is the location of a file to use as
the post data, and not the literal post data itself.

Yes.

But curl should provide a option to turn it off. The project I involve limits the length of post field. So add some char into the front of the string is not possible. 

I check the curl's manual(command line version). it has a global option to turn it off. But I can't found the way to turn off some particular fields.

Any suggestion?

Thanks!
