Unless I'm mistaken, -f is the "fail silently" option, which I don't
think you want.

AFAIK you can stream a response *to* a file, but not stream a request
body *from* a file, which leaves you with something like this:

  {ok, Data} = file:read_file(Path).

  httpc:request(post, {URL, Headers, ContentType, Data}, [], []).

Is that what you're trying to do?
