NAME

6       CURLOPT_UPLOAD_BUFFERSIZE - set preferred upload buffer size
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <curl/curl.h>
10
11       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_UPLOAD_BUFFERSIZE, long
12       size);

DESCRIPTION

15       Pass a long specifying your preferred size (in bytes)  for  the  upload
16       buffer  in  libcurl.  It  makes  libcurl uses a larger buffer that gets
17       passed to the next layer in the stack to get sent off. In  some  setups
18       and  for some protocols, there's a huge performance benefit of having a
19       larger upload buffer.
20
21       This is just treated as a request, not an order. You cannot be  guaranā€
22       teed to actually get the given size.
23
24       The  upload  buffer size is by default 64 kilobytes. The maximum buffer
25       size allowed to be set is 2 megabytes. The minimum buffer size  allowed
26       to be set is 16 kilobytes.
27
28       Since  curl 7.61.1 the upload buffer is allocated on-demand - so if the
29       handle isn't used for upload, this buffer will not be allocated at all.

42         /* ask libcurl to allocate a larger upload buffer */
43         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_UPLOAD_BUFFERSIZE, 120000L);
