GNURLOPT_MIMEPOST(3)

📦 version 7.72.0, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

💅 GNURLOPT_MIMEPOST(3) 💅

okay so this is the GNURLOPT_MIMEPOST(3) page from the curl_easy_setopt options manual — and yes bestie, we're getting into mime posting. 🌸

✨ NAME ✨

  • CURLOPT_MIMEPOST — set post/send data from mime structure 💌

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <gnurl/curl.h>

curl_mime *mime;

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MIMEPOST, mime);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so picture this: you pass in a mime handle that you previously got from curl_mime_init(3). That's the whole vibe, no cap. ✨

This setting is supported by the HTTP protocol to post forms, and by the SMTP and IMAP protocols to provide the e-mail data to send/upload. 💌

This option is the preferred way of posting an HTTP form, replacing and extending the deprecated CURLOPT_HTTPPOST(3) option. Deprecated is the key word there, bestie. 💅

🌈 PROTOCOLS 🌈

HTTP, SMTP, IMAP. That's the trio, highkey. 👑

⭐ AVAILABILITY ⭐

Since 7.56.0. 🎀

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

This will return CURLE_OK — lowkey iconic. ✅

💖 EXAMPLE 💖

Using this option implies the use of several mime structure building functions: see https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/smtp-mime.html for a complete example. 📬
