Hi;

This are the CURL options I used to post a binary file,

curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_POST,1);

/* post binary data */
curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELD, binaryptr);

 /* set the size of the postfields data */
curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE, 23);

curl_easy_perform(easyhandle); /* post away! */

Regards.

    dear manuel,
    i am using the curl library to post a binary file (*.tar.gz) file to my
    server. but, i have a problem...only few bytes of the file are getting
    stored in the server side eventhough I send the total file(by seeing how
    many times my callback method is called)...so, can you please write me what
    are the CURL options I need to use to post a binary file?
    thanks & regards
    ajit
