Hey All,

As I mentioned earlier, I am working on YouTube Uploading project in WinXp
using cURL and google data APIs.

I was *able to pass the authentication stage* and thanks for all the inputs
from u ppl :)

YouTube gives a long authentication string for further Uploading task which
is to be used by the developer.

*I need to post a number of things before the actual binary data
file.*Please see the list as below:

It's from the link:

=====================

Now, my question is *how to send all these using HTTP POST*? I'm looking
into CURLOPT_HTTPPOST, but through that u can only send one post at a time
and that too only of an HTTP header.

Is there anyway I can bundle all of these and then send in one time shot?

Any suggestions for making these HTTP POST will be welcome...

Thanks & Regards,
Tanmay Anjaria
