Unable to HTTP PUT with libcurl
- by Jesse Beder
I'm trying to PUT data using libcurl to mimic the command
curl -u test:test -X PUT --data-binary @data.yaml "http://127.0.0.1:8000/foo/"
which works correctly. My options look like:
curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "test:test");
curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_URL, "http://127.0.0.1:8000/foo/");
curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_UPLOAD, 1);
curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_READFUNCTION, read_data);
curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_READDATA, &yaml);
curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE, yaml.size());
curl_easy_perform(handle);
I believe the read_data function works correctly, but if you ask, I'll post that code.
I'm using Django with django-piston, and my update function is never called! (It is called when I use the command line version above.)
libcurl's output is:
* About to connect() to 127.0.0.1 port 8000 (#0)
* Trying 127.0.0.1... * connected
