CURLOPT_HTTPPOST(3) curl_easy_setopt options CURLOPT_HTTPPOST(3)NAMECURLOPT_HTTPPOST - specify the multipart formpost content
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HTTPPOST,
struct curl_httppost *formpost);
DESCRIPTION
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 argu‐
ment. 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_for‐
madd(3) as documented. The data in this list must remain intact until
you close this curl handle again with curl_easy_cleanup(3).
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), it will automatically set CUR‐
LOPT_NOBODY(3) to 0.
DEFAULT
NULL

&lastptr,
CURLFORM_COPYNAME, "filename",
CURLFORM_COPYCONTENTS, "postit2.c",
CURLFORM_END);
/* Fill in the submit field too, even if this is rarely needed */
curl_formadd(&formpost,
&lastptr,
CURLFORM_COPYNAME, "submit",
CURLFORM_COPYCONTENTS, "send",
CURLFORM_END);
