.TH CURLOPT_HTTPPOST 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_HTTPPOST \- specify the multipart formpost content
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HTTPPOST,
struct curl_httppost *formpost);
.SH 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 \fIformpost\fP argument.
Pass a pointer to a linked list of curl_httppost structs as parameter. The
easiest way to create such a list, is to use \fIcurl_formadd(3)\fP as
documented. The data in this list must remain intact as long as the curl
transfer is alive and is using it.
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.
When setting \fICURLOPT_HTTPPOST(3)\fP, it will automatically set
\fICURLOPT_NOBODY(3)\fP to 0.
This option is deprecated! Do not use it. Use \fICURLOPT_MIMEPOST(3)\fP
instead after having prepared mime data.
.SH DEFAULT
NULL
.SH PROTOCOLS
HTTP
