CURLOPT_MIMEPOST(3) | libcurl | CURLOPT_MIMEPOST(3) |
NAME¶
CURLOPT_MIMEPOST - send data from mime structure
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <curl/curl.h> curl_mime *mime; CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MIMEPOST, mime);
DESCRIPTION¶
Pass a mime handle previously obtained from curl_mime_init(3).
This setting is supported by the HTTP protocol to post forms and by the SMTP and IMAP protocols to provide the email data to send/upload.
This option is the preferred way of posting an HTTP form, replacing and extending the CURLOPT_HTTPPOST(3) option.
When setting CURLOPT_MIMEPOST(3) to NULL, libcurl resets the request type for HTTP to the default to disable the POST. Typically that would mean it is reset to GET. Instead you should set a desired request method explicitly.
PROTOCOLS¶
HTTP, SMTP, IMAP.
EXAMPLE¶
curl_mime *multipart = curl_mime_init(handle);
curl_mimepart *part = curl_mime_addpart(multipart);
curl_mime_name(part, "name");
curl_mime_data(part, "daniel", CURL_ZERO_TERMINATED);
part = curl_mime_addpart(multipart);
curl_mime_name(part, "project");
curl_mime_data(part, "curl", CURL_ZERO_TERMINATED);
part = curl_mime_addpart(multipart);
curl_mime_name(part, "logotype-image");
curl_mime_filedata(part, "curl.png");
/* Set the form info */
curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_MIMEPOST, multipart);
curl_easy_perform(handle); /* post away! */
curl_mime_free(multipart); /* free the post data */
AVAILABILITY¶
Added in 7.56.0
RETURN VALUE¶
This returns CURLE_OK.
