Expand a little. - mention the type name of the return code - avoid stating which exact return codes that might be returned, as that varies over time, builds and conditions - avoid stating some always return OK - refer to the manpage documenting all the return codes Closes #15900

# NAME
|
|
|
|
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE - size of POST data pointed to
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
~~~c
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE, long size);
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
If you want to post static 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, libcurl uses strlen() to get the size or relies on the
|
|
CURLOPT_READFUNCTION(3) (if used) to signal the end of data.
|
|
|
|
If you post more than 2GB, use CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE_LARGE(3).
|
|

# DEFAULT

#include <string.h> /* for strlen */

int main(void)

{
|
|
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
|
|
if(curl) {
|
|
const char *data = "data to send";
|
|
|
|
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
|
|
|
|
/* size of the POST data */
|
|
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE, (long) strlen(data));
|
|
|
|
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, data);
|
|
|
|
curl_easy_perform(curl);
