NAME¶

SYNOPSIS¶

CURLcode curl_mime_type(curl_mimepart * part, const char * mimetype);

DESCRIPTION¶

part is the part's handle to assign the content type to.

mimetype points to the null-terminated file mime type string; it may be set to NULL to remove a previously attached mime type.

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

In the absence of a mime type and if needed by the protocol specifications, a default mime type is determined by the context:
- If set as a custom header, use this value.
- application/form-data for an HTTP form post.
- If a remote file name is set, the mime type is taken from the file name extension, or application/octet-stream by default.
- For a multipart part, multipart/mixed.
- text/plain in other cases.
