#include <curl/curl.h>

.SH 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
|
|
|
|
\fICURLOPT_READFUNCTION(3)\fP (if used) to signal the end of data.
