NAME

       CURLOPT_UPLOAD - data upload

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_UPLOAD, long upload);

DESCRIPTION

       The long parameter upload set to 1 tells the library to prepare for and perform an upload.
       The CURLOPT_READDATA(3) and CURLOPT_INFILESIZE(3) or  CURLOPT_INFILESIZE_LARGE(3)  options
       are  also  interesting for uploads. If the protocol is HTTP, uploading means using the PUT
       request unless you tell libcurl otherwise.

       Using PUT with HTTP 1.1 implies the use of  a  "Expect:  100-continue"  header.   You  can
       disable this header with CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER(3) as usual.

       If  you use PUT to an HTTP 1.1 server, you can upload data without knowing the size before
       starting the transfer. The library enables this by  adding  a  header  "Transfer-Encoding:
       chunked". With HTTP 1.0 or if you prefer not to use chunked transfer, you must specify the
       size of the data with CURLOPT_INFILESIZE(3) or CURLOPT_INFILESIZE_LARGE(3).

EXAMPLE

       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
         /* we want to use our own read function */
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_READFUNCTION, read_callback);

         /* enable uploading */
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_UPLOAD, 1L);

         /* specify target */
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/dir/to/newfile");

         /* now specify which pointer to pass to our callback */
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_READDATA, hd_src);

         /* Set the size of the file to upload */
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE_LARGE, (curl_off_t)fsize);

         /* Now run off and do what you have been told! */
         curl_easy_perform(curl);
       }
