NAME

6       curl_formget  -  serialize  a  previously built multipart/formdata HTTP
7       POST chain
8

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <curl/curl.h>
11
12       int curl_formget(struct curl_httppost * form, void *userp,
13                         curl_formget_callback append );
14

DESCRIPTION

16       curl_formget() is used to serialize data previously built/appended with
17       curl_formadd(3).  Accepts a void pointer as second argument named userp
18       which will be passed as the first argument to the curl_formget_callback
19       function.
20
21       typedef  size_t (*curl_formget_callback)(void *userp, const char *buf,
22       size_t len);
23
24       The curl_formget_callback will be executed for each part  of  the  HTTP
25       POST  chain.  The  character  buffer passed to the callback must not be
26       freed. The callback should return the buffer length  passed  to  it  on
27       success.
28
29       If  the CURLFORM_STREAM option is used in the formpost, it will prevent
30       curl_formget(3) from working until you've performed the actual HTTP re‐
31       quest as only then will libcurl get the actual read callback to use!
32

RETURN VALUE

34       0 means everything was ok, non-zero means an error occurred
35

EXAMPLE

37        size_t print_httppost_callback(void *arg, const char *buf, size_t len)
38        {
39          fwrite(buf, len, 1, stdout);
40          (*(size_t *) arg) += len;
41          return len;
42        }
43
44        size_t print_httppost(struct curl_httppost *post)
45        {
46          size_t total_size = 0;
47          if(curl_formget(post, &total_size, print_httppost_callback)) {
48            return (size_t) -1;
49          }
50          return total_size;
51        }
52
