curl_mime_filename - set a mime part’s remote file name

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_mime_filename(curl_mimepart * */part/,* const char * */filename/);*

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

part is the part’s handle to assign the remote file name to.

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

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

   curl_mime *mime;
   curl_mimepart *part;

   /* create a mime handle */
   mime = curl_mime_init(easy);

   /* add a part */
   part = curl_mime_addpart(mime);

   /* send image data from memory */
   curl_mime_data(part, imagebuf, imagebuf_len);

   /* 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");

As long as at least one of HTTP, SMTP or IMAP is enabled. Added in 7.56.0.
