 Sub AddElement(Name As String, ValueStream As Readable, ValueSize As Integer, Filename As String = "", ContentType As String = "", AdditionalHeaders As libcURL.ListPtr = Nil, Encoding As libcURL.TransferEncoding = libcURL.TransferEncoding.Binary)
 Sub AddElement(Name As String, Value As libcURL.MIMEMessage, AdditionalHeaders As libcURL.ListPtr = Nil)

Parameters

AddElement(String, String, libcURL.ListPtr, libcURL.TransferEncoding)

Name	Type	Comment
Name	String	The name of the message part.
Value	String	The content of the part.
AdditionalHeaders	ListPtr	Optional. Additional MIME headers to include in the part.
Encoding	TransferEncoding	Optional. How to encode the part (defaults to binary).

AddElement(String, FolderItem, String, String, libcURL.ListPtr, libcURL.TransferEncoding)

Name	Type	Comment
Name	String	The name of the message part.
Value	FolderItem	The file to encode in the part.
FileName	String	Optional. The file name to use (overrides Value.Name)
ContentType	String	Optional. The Content-Type of the file (e.g. text/html.)
AdditionalHeaders	ListPtr	Optional. Additional MIME headers to include in the part.
Encoding	TransferEncoding	Optional. How to encode the part (defaults to binary).

AddElement(String, Readable, Integer, String, String, libcURL.ListPtr, libcURL.TransferEncoding)

Name	Type	Comment
Name	String	The name of the message part.
ValueStream	Readable	The stream from which to read the contents of the message part when they are actually needed. Use a BinaryStream to automatically "rewind" the stream after each use.
ValueSize	Integer	The total number of bytes to read from ValueStream. Pass 0 to read until ValueStream.EOF
Filename	String	Optional. If specified then the message part is encoded as a file part.
ContentType	String	Optional. The Content-Type of the file (e.g. text/html.) This parameter is ignored if Filename is not specified.
AdditionalHeaders	ListPtr	Optional. Additional MIME headers to include in the part.
Encoding	TransferEncoding	Optional. How to encode the part (defaults to binary).

AddElement(String, libcURL.MIMEMessage, libcURL.ListPtr)

Name	Type	Comment
Name	String	The name of the message part.
Value	MIMEMessage	Another MIMEMessage to be used as a sub-part.
AdditionalHeaders	ListPtr	Optional. Additional MIME headers to include in the part.

Remarks

Pass a string to set a string part or a folderitem to set a file upload part. You may also pass a Readable object to have libcURL read from when the message part contents are needed, or a subordinate MIMEMessage to be encoded as a sub-part.

You may add custom MIME headers in the message part by specifying the AdditionalHeaders parameter.

Example

This example POSTs an HTTP form containing a string part, a file part with additional MIME headers, and a Readable part:

  Dim c As New cURLClient
  Dim form As New libcURL.MIMEMessage(c.EasyHandle)
  form.AddElement("Username", "Bob")
  
  Dim mimeheaders As New libcURL.ListPtr
  mimeheaders.Append("X-Custom-Header: CustomValue")
  Dim file As FolderItem = GetOpenFolderItem("")
  form.AddElement("Upload", file, "", "", mimeheaders)
  
  Dim testdata As MemoryBlock = "This is a test buffer."
  Dim stream As New BinaryStream(testdata)
  form.AddElement("Stream", stream, stream.Length)
  
  If c.Post("http://www.example.com/submit.php", form) Then
    MsgBox("Success!")
  End If
