- .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,
- .BI "struct curl_httppost ** " lastitem, " ...);"
- .ad
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- curl_formadd() is used to append sections when building a multipart/formdata
- HTTP POST (sometimes referred to as rfc1867-style posts). Append one section at
- a time until you've added all the sections you want included and then you pass
- the fIfirstitemfP pointer as parameter to fBCURLOPT_HTTPPOSTfP.
- fIlastitemfP is set after each 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 fIlastitemfP pointer follow the real arguments.
- The pointers fI*firstitemfP and fI*lastitemfP 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 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_HTTPHEADERfP 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_FILEfP through fICURLFORM_BUFFERLENGTHfP are for file upload
- parts.
- .SH OPTIONS
- .IP CURLFORM_COPYNAME
- followed by a string which provides the fInamefP 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_NAMELENGTHfP. The copied data will be freed by
- fIcurl_formfree(3)fP.
- .IP CURLFORM_PTRNAME
- followed by a string which provides the fInamefP 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_NAMELENGTHfP.
- .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_CONTENTSLENGTHfP. 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_CONTENTSLENGTHfP.
- .IP CURLFORM_CONTENTSLENGTH
- followed by a long giving the length of the contents. Note that for
- fICURLFORM_STREAMfP contents, this option is mandatory.
- .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 fInotfP automatically become a file
- upload part simply because its data was read from a file.
- .IP CURLFORM_FILE
- followed by a filename, makes this part a file upload part. It sets the
- fIfilenamefP 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_FILEfP the user may send one or more files in one part by
- providing multiple fBCURLFORM_FILEfP arguments each followed by the filename
- (and each fICURLFORM_FILEfP is allowed to have a
- fICURLFORM_CONTENTTYPEfP).
- .IP CURLFORM_CONTENTTYPE
- is used in combination with fICURLFORM_FILEfP. 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_FILEfP. Followed by a pointer to a
- string, it tells libcurl to use the given string as the fIfilenamefP 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_FILEfP. It
- tells libcurl that the file contents are already present in a buffer. The
- parameter is a string which provides the fIfilenamefP field in the content
- header.
- .IP CURLFORM_BUFFERPTR
- is used in combination with fICURLFORM_BUFFERfP. 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_BUFFERLENGTHfP to set the number of bytes in the buffer.
- .IP CURLFORM_BUFFERLENGTH
- is used in combination with fICURLFORM_BUFFERfP. The parameter is a
- long which gives the length of the buffer.
- .IP CURLFORM_STREAM
- Tells libcurl to use the fICURLOPT_READFUNCTIONfP callback to get data. The
- parameter you pass to fICURLFORM_STREAMfP 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_FILENAMEfP parameter as well. Note that when
- using fICURLFORM_STREAMfP, fICURLFORM_CONTENTSLENGTHfP 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_ARRAYfP 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_ENDfP.
- .IP CURLFORM_CONTENTHEADER
- specifies extra headers for the form POST section. This takes a curl_slist
- prepared in the usual way using fBcurl_slist_appendfP 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_HTTPPOSTfP 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>
