Typically that would mean it 45is reset to GET. Instead you should set a desired request method explicitly. 46 47# %PROTOCOLS% 48 49# EXAMPLE 50 51~~~c 52int main(void) 53{ 54 CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); 55 if(curl) { 56 curl_mime *multipart = curl_mime_init(curl); 57 if(multipart) { 58 curl_mimepart *part = curl_mime_addpart(multipart); 59 curl_mime_name(part, "name"); 60 curl_mime_data(part, "daniel", CURL_ZERO_TERMINATED); 61 part = curl_mime_addpart(multipart); 62 curl_mime_name(part, "project"); 63 curl_mime_data(part, "curl", CURL_ZERO_TERMINATED); 64 part = curl_mime_addpart(multipart); 65 curl_mime_name(part, "logotype-image"); 66 curl_mime_filedata(part, "curl.png"); 67 68 /* Set the form info */ 69 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_MIMEPOST, multipart); 70 71 curl_easy_perform(curl); /* post away! */ 72 curl_mime_free(multipart); /* free the post data */ 73 } 74 } 75} 76~~~ 77 78# %AVAILABILITY% 79 80# RETURN VALUE 81 82This returns CURLE_OK. 83
