Hi,
        Thank's for the promt reply
 
Actually when I am trying the following curl_formadd,
And then seeing the debug file, the form which is sent by curl
application has nothing like
That means curl has not made any form with null file name like in

Content-Disposition: form-data; name="name:_id11"; filename=""
Content-Type: application/octet-stream

Then, I tried with
curl_formadd(&formpost,
               &lastptr,
               CURLFORM_COPYNAME, "CarFinderForm:_id11",
                   CURLFORM_FILE,"",
                   CURLFORM_FILENAME,"",
                   CURLFORM_CONTENTTYPE ,"application/octet-stream",
               CURLFORM_END);
But it is giving me the error that filename is NULL

Actually the problem is I have to post the form data which has filename
filed as ""
Also, if we see the form with view souce to the actual page
It has name:_id11 as the filed name but no filename field is there in
the actaul page.

Thank's
Rakesh

Well, what does that give you?

I'm able to replicate the output above with the curl command:

curl -F 'name:_idll=@/dev/null;type=application/octet-stream;filename='
\
  http://example.com/

You can look at formparse() in src/main.c to see how that builds the
form.
