.SH NAME
|

curl_formadd - add a section to a multipart/formdata HTTP POST
|
||||
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||||
.B #include <curl/curl.h>
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
.BI "CURLFORMcode curl_formadd(struct curl_httppost ** " firstitem,
|

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
curl_formadd() is used to append sections when building a multipart/formdata
|
||||
HTTP POST (sometimes referred to as RFC2388-style posts). Append one section
|
||||
at a time until you've added all the sections you want included and then you
|
||||
pass the \fIfirstitem\fP pointer as parameter to \fICURLOPT_HTTPPOST(3)\fP.
|
||||
\fIlastitem\fP is set after each \fIcurl_formadd(3)\fP call and on repeated
|
||||
invokes it should be left as set to allow repeated invokes to find the end of
|
||||
the list faster.
|
||||
|
||||
After the \fIlastitem\fP pointer follow the real arguments.
|
||||
|
||||
The pointers \fIfirstitem\fP and \fIlastitem\fP should both be pointing to
|
||||
NULL in the first call to this function. All list-data will be allocated by
|
||||
the function itself. You must call \fIcurl_formfree(3)\fP on the
|
||||
\fIfirstitem\fP after the form post has been done to free the resources.
|
||||
|
||||
Using POST with HTTP 1.1 implies the use of a "Expect: 100-continue" header.
|
||||
You can disable this header with \fICURLOPT_HTTPHEADER(3)\fP as usual.
|
||||
|
||||
First, there are some basics you need to understand about multipart/formdata
|
||||
posts. Each part consists of at least a NAME and a CONTENTS part. If the part
|
||||
is made for file upload, there are also a stored CONTENT-TYPE and a FILENAME.
|
||||
Below, we'll discuss what options you use to set these properties in the
|
||||
parts you want to add to your post.
|
||||
|
||||
The options listed first are for making normal parts. The options from
|
||||
\fICURLFORM_FILE\fP through \fICURLFORM_BUFFERLENGTH\fP are for file upload
|
||||
parts.
|
||||
.SH OPTIONS
|
||||
.IP CURLFORM_COPYNAME
|
||||
followed by a string which provides the \fIname\fP of this part. libcurl
|
||||
copies the string so your application doesn't need to keep it around after
|
||||
this function call. If the name isn't NUL-terminated, or if you'd
|
||||
like it to contain zero bytes, you must set its length with
|
||||
\fBCURLFORM_NAMELENGTH\fP. The copied data will be freed by
|
||||
\fIcurl_formfree(3)\fP.
|
||||
.IP CURLFORM_PTRNAME
|
||||
followed by a string which provides the \fIname\fP of this part. libcurl
|
||||
will use the pointer and refer to the data in your application, so you
|
||||
must make sure it remains until curl no longer needs it. If the name
|
||||
isn't NUL-terminated, or if you'd like it to contain zero
|
||||
bytes, you must set its length with \fBCURLFORM_NAMELENGTH\fP.
|
||||
.IP CURLFORM_COPYCONTENTS
|
||||
followed by a pointer to the contents of this part, the actual data
|
||||
to send away. libcurl copies the provided data, so your application doesn't
|
||||
need to keep it around after this function call. If the data isn't null
|
||||
terminated, or if you'd like it to contain zero bytes, you must
|
||||
set the length of the name with \fBCURLFORM_CONTENTSLENGTH\fP. The copied
|
||||
data will be freed by \fIcurl_formfree(3)\fP.
|
||||
.IP CURLFORM_PTRCONTENTS
|
||||
followed by a pointer to the contents of this part, the actual data
|
||||
to send away. libcurl will use the pointer and refer to the data in your
|
||||
application, so you must make sure it remains until curl no longer needs it.
|
||||
If the data isn't NUL-terminated, or if you'd like it to contain zero bytes,
|
||||
you must set its length with \fBCURLFORM_CONTENTSLENGTH\fP.
|
||||
.IP CURLFORM_CONTENTLEN
|
||||
followed by a curl_off_t value giving the length of the contents. Note that
|
||||
for \fICURLFORM_STREAM\fP contents, this option is mandatory.
|
||||
|
||||
If you pass a 0 (zero) for this option, libcurl will instead do a strlen() on
|
||||
the contents to figure out the size. If you really want to send a zero byte
|
||||
content then you must make sure strlen() on the data pointer returns zero.
|
||||
|
||||
(Option added in 7.46.0)
|
||||
.IP CURLFORM_CONTENTSLENGTH
|
||||
(This option is deprecated. Use \fICURLFORM_CONTENTLEN\fP instead!)
|
||||
|
||||
followed by a long giving the length of the contents. Note that for
|
||||
\fICURLFORM_STREAM\fP contents, this option is mandatory.
|
||||
|
||||
If you pass a 0 (zero) for this option, libcurl will instead do a strlen() on
|
||||
the contents to figure out the size. If you really want to send a zero byte
|
||||
content then you must make sure strlen() on the data pointer returns zero.
|
||||
.IP CURLFORM_FILECONTENT
|
||||
followed by a filename, causes that file to be read and its contents used
|
||||
as data in this part. This part does \fInot\fP automatically become a file
|
||||
upload part simply because its data was read from a file.
|
||||
|
||||
The specified file needs to kept around until the associated transfer is done.
|
||||
.IP CURLFORM_FILE
|
||||
followed by a filename, makes this part a file upload part. It sets the
|
||||
\fIfilename\fP field to the basename of the provided filename, it reads the
|
||||
contents of the file and passes them as data and sets the content-type if the
|
||||
given file match one of the internally known file extensions. For
|
||||
\fBCURLFORM_FILE\fP the user may send one or more files in one part by
|
||||
providing multiple \fBCURLFORM_FILE\fP arguments each followed by the filename
|
||||
(and each \fICURLFORM_FILE\fP is allowed to have a
|
||||
\fICURLFORM_CONTENTTYPE\fP).
|
||||
|
||||
The given upload file has to exist in its full in the file system already when
|
||||
the upload starts, as libcurl needs to read the correct file size beforehand.
|
||||
|
||||
The specified file needs to kept around until the associated transfer is done.
|
||||
.IP CURLFORM_CONTENTTYPE
|
||||
is used in combination with \fICURLFORM_FILE\fP. Followed by a pointer to a
|
||||
string which provides the content-type for this part, possibly instead of an
|
||||
internally chosen one.
|
||||
.IP CURLFORM_FILENAME
|
||||
is used in combination with \fICURLFORM_FILE\fP. Followed by a pointer to a
|
||||
string, it tells libcurl to use the given string as the \fIfilename\fP in the
|
||||
file upload part instead of the actual file name.
|
||||
.IP CURLFORM_BUFFER
|
||||
is used for custom file upload parts without use of \fICURLFORM_FILE\fP. It
|
||||
tells libcurl that the file contents are already present in a buffer. The
|
||||
parameter is a string which provides the \fIfilename\fP field in the content
|
||||
header.
|
||||
.IP CURLFORM_BUFFERPTR
|
||||
is used in combination with \fICURLFORM_BUFFER\fP. The parameter is a pointer
|
||||
to the buffer to be uploaded. This buffer must not be freed until after
|
||||
\fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP is called. You must also use
|
||||
\fICURLFORM_BUFFERLENGTH\fP to set the number of bytes in the buffer.
|
||||
.IP CURLFORM_BUFFERLENGTH
|
||||
is used in combination with \fICURLFORM_BUFFER\fP. The parameter is a
|
||||
long which gives the length of the buffer.
|
||||
.IP CURLFORM_STREAM
|
||||
Tells libcurl to use the \fICURLOPT_READFUNCTION(3)\fP callback to get
|
||||
data. The parameter you pass to \fICURLFORM_STREAM\fP is the pointer passed on
|
||||
to the read callback's fourth argument. If you want the part to look like a
|
||||
file upload one, set the \fICURLFORM_FILENAME\fP parameter as well. Note that
|
||||
when using \fICURLFORM_STREAM\fP, \fICURLFORM_CONTENTSLENGTH\fP must also be
|
||||
set with the total expected length of the part. (Option added in libcurl
|
||||
7.18.2)
|
||||
.IP CURLFORM_ARRAY
|
||||
Another possibility to send options to curl_formadd() is the
|
||||
\fBCURLFORM_ARRAY\fP option, that passes a struct curl_forms array pointer as
|
||||
its value. Each curl_forms structure element has a CURLformoption and a char
|
||||
pointer. The final element in the array must be a CURLFORM_END. All available
|
||||
options can be used in an array, except the CURLFORM_ARRAY option itself! The
|
||||
last argument in such an array must always be \fBCURLFORM_END\fP.
|
||||
.IP CURLFORM_CONTENTHEADER
|
||||
specifies extra headers for the form POST section. This takes a curl_slist
|
||||
prepared in the usual way using \fBcurl_slist_append\fP and appends the list
|
||||
of headers to those libcurl automatically generates. The list must exist while
|
||||
the POST occurs, if you free it before the post completes you may experience
|
||||
problems.
|
||||
|
||||
When you've passed the HttpPost pointer to \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP (using
|
||||
the \fICURLOPT_HTTPPOST(3)\fP option), you must not free the list until after
|
||||
you've called \fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP for the curl handle.
|
||||
|
||||
See example below.
|
||||
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
||||
0 means everything was ok, non-zero means an error occurred corresponding
|
||||
to a CURL_FORMADD_* constant defined in
|
||||
.I <curl/curl.h>
|
||||
