Oops, this is what I do since 2 years, but using "php-cli" interface  on
the CLIENT side...

I use:

    exec("split --suffix-length=4 --numeric-suffixes --bytes=${SIZE} ${FILE} UPLOAD_0");
    exec("md5sum UPLOAD_0* >UPLOAD_md5sums);
    ...
    /* upload a file and receive a cookie */
    exec("wget --save-cookies=UPLOAD_cookies --http-user=${user} --http-password=${password} --post-file=UPLOAD_0${CHUNK} ${URL}");
    /* use the cookie to get the status of the next file */
    exec("wget --load-cookies=UPLOAD_cookies --http-user=${user} --http-password=${password} ${URL}");
    ...
