NAME¶

curl_mime_filename - set a mime part's remote filename

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_mime_filename(curl_mimepart *part,


                            const char *filename);

DESCRIPTION¶

curl_mime_filename(3) sets a mime part's remote filename. When remote filename is set, content data is processed as a file, whatever is the part's content source. A part's remote filename is transmitted to the server in the associated Content-Disposition generated header.

part is the part's handle to assign the remote filename to.

filename points to the null-terminated filename string; it may be set to NULL to remove a previously attached remote filename.

The remote filename string is copied into the part, thus the associated storage may safely be released or reused after call. Setting a part's file name multiple times is valid: only the value set by the last call is retained.

PROTOCOLS¶

This functionality affects http, imap and smtp

EXAMPLE¶

static char imagebuf[]="imagedata";
int main(void)
{


  curl_mime *mime;


  curl_mimepart *part;


  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();


  if(curl) {


    /* create a mime handle */


    mime = curl_mime_init(curl);


    /* add a part */


    part = curl_mime_addpart(mime);


    /* send image data from memory */


    curl_mime_data(part, imagebuf, sizeof(imagebuf));


    /* set a file name to make it look like a file upload */


    curl_mime_filename(part, "image.png");


    /* set name */


    curl_mime_name(part, "data");


  }
}

AVAILABILITY¶

CURLE_OK or a CURL error code upon failure.
