NAME

CURLOPT_MIMEPOST - set post/send data from mime structure

#include <curl/curl.h>

curl_mime *mime;

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

Pass a mime handle previously obtained from curl_mime_init(3).

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.

HTTP, SMTP, IMAP.

Since 7.56.0.

This will return CURLE_OK.

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