hi, So another newbie question just to confirm: after reading the docs more one doesnt actually send files, even in the case below its actually always buffer? curl_mime *mime; curl_mimepart *part; // create a mime handle mime = curl_mime_init(easy); // add a part part = curl_mime_addpart(mime); // send data from this file curl_mime_filedata(part, "image.png"); // set name curl_mime_name(part, "data");
