1 Long: data-urlencode
2 Arg: <data>
3 Help: HTTP POST data url encoded
4 Protocols: HTTP
5 See-also: data data-raw
6 Added: 7.18.0
7 ---
8 This posts data, similar to the other --data options with the exception
9 that this performs URL-encoding.
10 
11 To be CGI-compliant, the <data> part should begin with a \fIname\fP followed
12 by a separator and a content specification. The <data> part can be passed to
13 curl using one of the following syntaxes:
14 .RS
15 .IP "content"
16 This will make curl URL-encode the content and pass that on. Just be careful
17 so that the content doesn't contain any = or @ symbols, as that will then make
18 the syntax match one of the other cases below!
19 .IP "=content"
20 This will make curl URL-encode the content and pass that on. The preceding =
21 symbol is not included in the data.
22 .IP "name=content"
23 This will make curl URL-encode the content part and pass that on. Note that
24 the name part is expected to be URL-encoded already.
25 .IP "@filename"
26 This will make curl load data from the given file (including any newlines),
27 URL-encode that data and pass it on in the POST.
28 .IP "name@filename"
29 This will make curl load data from the given file (including any newlines),
30 URL-encode that data and pass it on in the POST. The name part gets an equal
31 sign appended, resulting in \fIname=urlencoded-file-content\fP. Note that the
32 name is expected to be URL-encoded already.
