here is a (untested) libsoup variant for reference. as you can see
it's more code even without the error checks, which seems typical for
the gnome folks, even if the library capabilities are overall smaller
in comparison to libcurl (as they say). but i really think we should
move both the zip packaging code and the upload code to a new pair
e.g. upload.c/upload.h. we then can use the same file to write a
dialog and the same dialog to upload to different website platforms.
but please, don't put this in divelist.c :-).
