PHP 8.1 - CURLStringFile

[Ayesh Karunaratne]

PHP 8.1 adds a new CURLStringFile, that makes it possible to upload a file directly from a variable. With existing CURLFile, it is required to specify a path or a URI (that allows data:// fortunately).

• php/php-src#6456
• PHP 8.1: Curl: File uploads from strings with CURLStringFile

There is a polyfill that I created and tested manually. It works by encoding the passed data into a data:// URI within the constructor, and setting them into properties of a CURLFile subclass.

I would like to ask if a CURLStringFile polyfill would fit Symfony Polyfill project. If it does, I'd happily send a PR :)

Thank you.

This looks like a nice addition to the new PHP 8.1 polyfill. WDYT @nicolas-grekas?

Yes, this is the perfect place for a polyfill :)
PR welcome :)
