A mime tree attached to an easy handle using CURLOPT_MIMEPOST is
strongly bound to the handle: there is a pointer to the easy handle in
each item of the mime tree and following the parent pointer list
of mime items ends in a dummy part stored within the handle.
Because of this binding, a mime tree cannot be shared between different
easy handles, thus it needs to be cloned upon easy handle duplication.
There is no way for the caller to get the duplicated mime tree
handle: it is then set to be automatically destroyed upon freeing the
new easy handle.
New test 654 checks proper mime structure duplication/release.
Add a warning note in curl_mime_data_cb() documentation about sharing
user data between duplicated handles.
Closes#2235
- The part kind MIMEKIND_FILE and associated code are suppressed.
- Seek data origin offset not used anymore: suppressed.
- MIMEKIND_NAMEDFILE renamed MIMEKIND_FILE; associated fields/functions
renamed accordingly.
- Curl_getformdata() processes stdin via a callback.
curl_mime_encoder() is operational and documented.
curl tool -F option is extended with ";encoder=".
curl tool --libcurl option generates calls to curl_mime_encoder().
New encoder tests 648 & 649.
Test 1404 extended with an encoder specification.
To support telling a string is nul-terminated, symbol CURL_ZERO_TERMINATED
has been introduced.
Documentation updated accordingly.
symbols in versions updated. Added form API symbols deprecation info.
This feature is badly supported in Windows: as a replacement, a caller has
to use curl_mime_data_cb() with fread, fseek and possibly fclose
callbacks to process opened files.
The cli tool and documentation are updated accordingly.
The feature is however kept internally for form API compatibility, with
the known caveats it always had.
As a side effect, stdin size is not determined by the cli tool even if
possible and this results in a chunked transfer encoding. Test 173 is
updated accordingly.
