# `--form`
|
||||
|
||||
For the HTTP protocol family, emulate a filled-in form in which a user has
|
||||
pressed the submit button. This makes curl POST data using the Content-Type
|
||||
multipart/form-data according to RFC 2388.
|
||||
|
||||
For SMTP and IMAP protocols, this composes a multipart mail message to
|
||||
transmit.
|
||||
|
||||
This enables uploading of binary files etc. To force the 'content' part to be
|
||||
a file, prefix the filename with an @ sign. To just get the content part from
|
||||
a file, prefix the filename with the symbol \<. The difference between @ and
|
||||
\< is then that @ makes a file get attached in the post as a file upload,
|
||||
while the \< makes a text field and just gets the contents for that text field
|
||||
from a file.
|
||||
|
||||
Read content from stdin instead of a file by using a single "-" as filename.
|
||||
This goes for both @ and \< constructs. When stdin is used, the contents is
|
||||
buffered in memory first by curl to determine its size and allow a possible
|
||||
resend. Defining a part's data from a named non-regular file (such as a named
|
||||
pipe or similar) is not subject to buffering and is instead read at
|
||||
transmission time; since the full size is unknown before the transfer starts,
|
||||
such data is sent as chunks by HTTP and rejected by IMAP.
|
||||
|
||||
Example: send an image to an HTTP server, where 'profile' is the name of the
|
||||
form-field to which the file **portrait.jpg** is the input:
|
||||
|
||||
curl -F profile=@portrait.jpg https://example.com/upload.cgi
|
||||
|
||||
Example: send your name and shoe size in two text fields to the server:
|
||||
|
||||
curl -F name=John -F shoesize=11 https://example.com/
|
||||
|
||||
Example: send your essay in a text field to the server. Send it as a plain
|
||||
text field, but get the contents for it from a local file:
|
||||
|
||||
curl -F "story=<hugefile.txt" https://example.com/
|
||||
|
||||
You can also instruct curl what Content-Type to use by using `type=`, in a
|
||||
manner similar to:
|
||||
|
||||
curl -F "web=@index.html;type=text/html" example.com
|
||||
|
||||
or
|
||||
|
||||
curl -F "name=daniel;type=text/foo" example.com
|
||||
|
||||
You can also explicitly change the name field of a file upload part by setting
|
||||
filename=, like this:
|
||||
|
||||
curl -F "file=@localfile;filename=nameinpost" example.com
|
||||
|
||||
If filename/path contains ',' or ';', it must be quoted by double-quotes like:
|
||||
|
||||
curl -F "file=@\"local,file\";filename=\"name;in;post\"" \
|
||||
https://example.com
|
||||
|
||||
or
|
||||
|
||||
curl -F 'file=@"local,file";filename="name;in;post"' \
|
||||
https://example.com
|
||||
|
||||
Note that if a filename/path is quoted by double-quotes, any double-quote
|
||||
or backslash within the filename must be escaped by backslash.
|
||||
|
||||
Quoting must also be applied to non-file data if it contains semicolons,
|
||||
leading/trailing spaces or leading double quotes:
|
||||
|
||||
curl -F 'colors="red; green; blue";type=text/x-myapp' \
|
||||
https://example.com
|
||||
|
||||
You can add custom headers to the field by setting headers=, like
|
||||
|
||||
curl -F "submit=OK;headers=\"X-submit-type: OK\"" example.com
|
||||
|
||||
or
|
||||
|
||||
curl -F "submit=OK;headers=@headerfile" example.com
|
||||
|
||||
The headers= keyword may appear more than once and above notes about quoting
|
||||
apply. When headers are read from a file, empty lines and lines starting
|
||||
with '#' are ignored; each header can be folded by splitting
|
||||
between two words and starting the continuation line with a space; embedded
|
||||
carriage-returns and trailing spaces are stripped.
|
||||
Here is an example of a header file contents:
|
||||
|
||||
# This file contains two headers.
|
||||
X-header-1: this is a header
|
||||
|
||||
# The following header is folded.
|
||||
X-header-2: this is
|
||||
another header
|
||||
|
||||
To support sending multipart mail messages, the syntax is extended as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
- name can be omitted: the equal sign is the first character of the argument,
|
||||
|
||||
- if data starts with '(', this signals to start a new multipart: it can be
|
||||
followed by a content type specification.
|
||||
|
||||
- a multipart can be terminated with a '=)' argument.
|
||||
|
||||
Example: the following command sends an SMTP mime email consisting in an
|
||||
inline part in two alternative formats: plain text and HTML. It attaches a
|
||||
text file:
|
||||
|
||||
curl -F '=(;type=multipart/alternative' \
|
||||
-F '=plain text message' \
|
||||
-F '= <body>HTML message</body>;type=text/html' \
|
||||
-F '=)' -F '=@textfile.txt' ... smtp://example.com
|
||||
|
||||
Data can be encoded for transfer using encoder=. Available encodings are
|
||||
*binary* and *8bit* that do nothing else than adding the corresponding
|
||||
Content-Transfer-Encoding header, *7bit* that only rejects 8-bit characters
|
||||
with a transfer error, *quoted-printable* and *base64* that encodes data
|
||||
according to the corresponding schemes, limiting lines length to 76
|
||||
characters.
|
||||
|
||||
Example: send multipart mail with a quoted-printable text message and a
|
||||
base64 attached file:
|
||||
|
||||
curl -F '=text message;encoder=quoted-printable' \
|
||||
-F '=@localfile;encoder=base64' ... smtp://example.com
