Typically that would mean it 44is reset to GET. Instead you should set a desired request method explicitly. 45 46# EXAMPLE 47 48~~~c 49int main(void) 50{ 51 CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); 52 if(curl) { 53 curl_mime *multipart = curl_mime_init(curl); 54 if(multipart) { 55 curl_mimepart *part = curl_mime_addpart(multipart); 56 curl_mime_name(part, "name"); 57 curl_mime_data(part, "daniel", CURL_ZERO_TERMINATED); 58 part = curl_mime_addpart(multipart); 59 curl_mime_name(part, "project"); 60 curl_mime_data(part, "curl", CURL_ZERO_TERMINATED); 61 part = curl_mime_addpart(multipart); 62 curl_mime_name(part, "logotype-image"); 63 curl_mime_filedata(part, "curl.png"); 64 65 /* Set the form info */ 66 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_MIMEPOST, multipart); 67 68 curl_easy_perform(curl); /* post away! */ 69 curl_mime_free(multipart); /* free the post data */ 70 } 71 } 72} 73~~~ 74 75# AVAILABILITY 76 77Added in 7.56.0 78 79# RETURN VALUE 80 81This returns CURLE_OK. 82
