This will also +make the library use a "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" +header. (This is by far the most commonly used POST method). + +Use one of \fICURLOPT_POSTFIELDS(3)\fP or \fICURLOPT_COPYPOSTFIELDS(3)\fP +options to specify what data to post and \fICURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE(3)\fP or +\fICURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE_LARGE(3)\fP to set the data size. + +Optionally, you can provide data to POST using the +\fICURLOPT_READFUNCTION(3)\fP and \fICURLOPT_READDATA(3)\fP options but then +you must make sure to not set \fICURLOPT_POSTFIELDS(3)\fP to anything but +NULL. When providing data with a callback, you must transmit it using chunked +transfer-encoding or you must set the size of the data with the +\fICURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE(3)\fP or \fICURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE_LARGE(3)\fP +options. To enable chunked encoding, you simply pass in the appropriate +Transfer-Encoding header, see the post-callback.c example. + +You can override the default POST Content-Type: header by setting your own +with \fICURLOPT_HTTPHEADER(3)\fP. + +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 as usual. + +If you use POST to an HTTP 1.1 server, you can send data without knowing the +size before starting the POST if you use chunked encoding. You enable this by +adding a header like "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" with +\fICURLOPT_HTTPHEADER(3)\fP. With HTTP 1.0 or without chunked transfer, you +must specify the size in the request. (Since 7.66.0, libcurl will +automatically use chunked encoding for POSTs if the size is unknown.) + +When setting \fICURLOPT_POST(3)\fP to 1, libcurl will automatically set +\fICURLOPT_NOBODY(3)\fP and \fICURLOPT_HTTPGET(3)\fP to 0. + +If you issue a POST request and then want to make a HEAD or GET using the same +re-used handle, you must explicitly set the new request type using +\fICURLOPT_NOBODY(3)\fP or \fICURLOPT_HTTPGET(3)\fP or similar. +.SH DEFAULT +0, disabled +.SH PROTOCOLS +HTTP +.SH EXAMPLE +.nf +CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); +if(curl) { + curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com/foo.bin"); + curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1L); + + /* set up the read callback with CURLOPT_READFUNCTION */ + + ret = curl_easy_perform(curl); + + curl_easy_cleanup(curl); +} +.fi +.SH AVAILABILITY +Along with HTTP +.SH RETURN VALUE +Returns CURLE_OK if HTTP is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS "(3), " CURLOPT_HTTPPOST "(3), "
