# NAME
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE_LARGE - size of POST data pointed to
|
||
|
|

|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
~~~c
|
||
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE_LARGE,
|
||
|
|
curl_off_t size);

# DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to post static data to the server without having libcurl do a
|
||
|
|
strlen() to measure the data size, this option must be used. When this option
|
||
|
|
is used you can post fully binary data, which otherwise is likely to fail. If
|
||
|
|
this size is set to -1, libcurl uses strlen() to get the size or relies on the
|
||
|
|
CURLOPT_READFUNCTION(3) (if used) to signal the end of data.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# DEFAULT
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-1
