curl_mime_subparts - set subparts of a multipart mime part

Name

curl_mime_subparts - set sub-parts of a multipart mime part

Synopsis

#include <curl/curl.h>
 
CURLcode curl_mime_subparts(curl_mimepart *part, curl_mime *subparts);

Description

curl_mime_subparts sets a multipart mime part's content from a mime structure.

part is a handle to the multipart part.

subparts is a mime structure handle holding the sub-parts. After curl_mime_subparts succeeds, the mime structure handle belongs to the multipart part and must not be freed explicitly. It may however be updated by subsequent calls to mime API functions.

Setting a part's contents multiple times is valid: only the value set by the last call is retained. It is possible to unassign previous part's contents by setting subparts to NULL.

Protocols

This functionality affects http, imap and smtp

Example

 
static char *inline_html = "<title>example</title>";
static char *inline_text = "once upon the time";
 
int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    struct curl_slist *slist;
 
    /* The inline part is an alternative proposing the html and the text
       versions of the email. */
    curl_mime *alt = curl_mime_init(curl);
    curl_mimepart *part;
 
    /* HTML message. */
    part = curl_mime_addpart(alt);
    curl_mime_data(part, inline_html, CURL_ZERO_TERMINATED);
    curl_mime_type(part, "text/html");
 
    /* Text message. */
    part = curl_mime_addpart(alt);
    curl_mime_data(part, inline_text, CURL_ZERO_TERMINATED);
 
    /* Create the inline part. */
    part = curl_mime_addpart(alt);
    curl_mime_subparts(part, alt);
    curl_mime_type(part, "multipart/alternative");
    slist = curl_slist_append(NULL, "Content-Disposition: inline");
    curl_mime_headers(part, slist, 1);
  }
}
