CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_UPLOAD - Man Page

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_UPLOAD,
                           double *content_length);

Pass a pointer to a double to receive the specified size of the upload. Since 7.19.4, this returns -1 if the size is not known.

CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_UPLOAD_T(3) is a newer replacement that returns a more sensible variable type.

This functionality affects all supported protocols

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode res;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");

    /* Perform the upload */
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

    if(!res) {
      /* check the size */
      double cl;
      res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_UPLOAD, &cl);
      if(!res) {
        printf("Size: %.0f\n", cl);
      }
    }
  }
}

Deprecated since 7.55.0.

Added in curl 7.6.1

Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
