Hello,
The option curl -data (or -d) is slow with big file Example of command curl -H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8" -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8080/ -o res_req.json -d @req.json With a 100 MB file req.json file In src/tool_getparam.c (line 1418 in curl 7.66.0), the function file2string is called And in src/tool_paramhlp.c, the function file2string does very often realloc For me, the option is using --data-binary wich uses file2memory, calling less realloc and far faster for big file. But I suppose a lot of user don't know this is better and uses -d / --data just because the file is a text file. So I suggest modifying file2string to call realloc less often, like file2memory.
