Hi Marc

Thanks for the response, which for future reference, is correct. As soon as I realized this, I felt kind of dumb, but I did say it was a newbie question!

Hi Howard,

the header part you are trying to "modify" is not a POST field, but
the actual request path of the URL.

This means you have to set the option CURLOPT_URL to the full URL,
including the path, e.g.:
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_setopt.html#CURLOPTURL

Where curl.haxx.se is the domain, and /libcurl/c/curl_easy_setopt.html
the request path.

Best regards,
Marc

Hi all

I hope this is the correct list for this question.  If not, please let me
know which mailing list to use.

I am using the c language libcurl API and I am trying to generate a POST
header that looks like:

POST /cmd/put HTTP/1.1

So far I've not been able to figure out how to customize the POST header to
add the "/cmd/put". I've tried using CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, but that didn't
seem to help.

Any suggestions?

Thanks much
Howard
