You're seeing undefined behavior. When '*upload_data_size' is zero, you
are not allowed to look into '*upload_data'. It is NEVER warranted to be
a 0-terminated char* in the first place, and right now you're just
reading data out of bounds.  Do not rely on getting 0x7f or anything
meaningful, in fact, expect reading more than '*upload_data_size' bytes
from '*upload_data' to be deadly.

Happy hacking!
