.SH NAME
curl_formget \- serialize a previously built multipart form POST chain
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>
int curl_formget(struct curl_httppost * form, void *userp,
curl_formget_callback append);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
curl_formget() serializes data previously built with \fIcurl_formadd(3)\fP. It
accepts a void pointer as second argument named \fIuserp\fP which is passed as
the first argument to the curl_formget_callback function.
.nf
typedef size_t (*curl_formget_callback)(void *userp, const char *buf,
size_t len);"
.fi
The curl_formget_callback is invoked for each part of the HTTP POST chain. The
character buffer passed to the callback must not be freed. The callback should
return the buffer length passed to it on success.
If the \fBCURLFORM_STREAM\fP option is used in the formpost, it prevents
\fIcurl_formget(3)\fP from working until you have performed the actual HTTP
request. This, because first then does libcurl known which actual read
callback to use!
.SH PROTOCOLS
HTTP
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
size_t print_httppost_callback(void *arg, const char *buf, size_t len)
{
fwrite(buf, len, 1, stdout);
(*(size_t *) arg) += len;
return len;
}
size_t print_httppost(struct curl_httppost *post)
{
size_t total_size = 0;
if(curl_formget(post, &total_size, print_httppost_callback)) {
return (size_t) -1;
}
return total_size;
}
.fi
