cURL post file

[Aleksandar Ilic]

Hi,

Does anyone have an example how to post file with post fields (using cURL)?

Currently, I'm using this piece of code for POST requests:

curl := curl_easy_init()

curl_easy_setopt(curl, HB_CURLOPT_URL, "http://localhost/test/post.php")

curl_easy_setopt(curl, HB_CURLOPT_POST, .T.);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, HB_CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "param1=value1&param2=value2);

? curl_easy_perform(curl)

curl_easy_cleanup(curl)

I'm not able to find any working example how to attach file to this post request.

As I can see, this is intended for other purposes (mail attachment, etc.)

curl_easy_setopt(curl, HB_CURLOPT_UL_FILE_SETUP, "file_to_send.ext")
curl_easy_setopt(curl, HB_CURLOPT_INFILESIZE, hb_FSize("file_to_send.ext"))

Any help is appreciated!

Regards,
Aleksandar

Here's the answer.

In order to attach file, we need to set this cURL option:

curl_easy_setopt(curl, HB_CURLOPT_HTTPPOST, {{"file", "file_to_send.ext"}});

This should be documented somewhere.

Well, we cannot combine HB_CURLOPT_HTTPPOST and HB_CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, so we are again at the beginning. One is excluding the other one.

There's a patch, but not included:

Any help is kindly appreciated.

If there exists a capable programmer who can fix the showstopper 

problem in the last version as in repository, such patch can be 

committed anytime.
