.TH CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE \- size of POST data pointed to
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE, long size);
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
If you want to post data to the server without having libcurl do a strlen() to
|
|
measure the data size, this option must be used. When this option is used you
|
|
can post fully binary data, which otherwise is likely to fail. If this size is
|
|
set to -1, the library will use strlen() to get the size.
|
|
|
|
If you post more than 2GB, use \fICURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE_LARGE(3)\fP.
|
|
.SH DEFAULT
|
|
-1
|
|
.SH PROTOCOLS
|
|
HTTP
