The fact that you can't "put temp into url tDestUrl" seems to be a problem 
of libURL, afterall what you send to the server is the contents of a 
variable.
The workaround is to write your own script for communicating with the 
server or just modify the relevant parts from libURL to your needs.

You can edit a loaded stack but you still need to save the changes 
(locally) before uploading so no point in changing libURL.
