# NAME
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CURLOPT_HTTPPOST - multipart formpost content
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
~~~c
|
||
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HTTPPOST,
|
||
|
|
struct curl_httppost *formpost);
|

# DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**This option is deprecated.** Use CURLOPT_MIMEPOST(3) instead.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Tells libcurl you want a **multipart/formdata** HTTP POST to be made and you
|
||
|
|
instruct what data to pass on to the server in the *formpost* argument.
|
||
|
|
Pass a pointer to a linked list of *curl_httppost* structs as parameter.
|
||
|
|
The easiest way to create such a list, is to use curl_formadd(3) as
|
||
|
|
documented. The data in this list must remain intact as long as the curl
|
||
|
|
transfer is alive and is using it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using POST with HTTP 1.1 implies the use of a "Expect: 100-continue" header.
|
||
|
|
You can disable this header with CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER(3).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When setting CURLOPT_HTTPPOST(3), libcurl automatically sets
|
||
|
|
CURLOPT_NOBODY(3) to 0.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# DEFAULT
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NULL
