Hi there, I use libevent 2.0.22 and I'm trying to send a big file with the HTTP API client to a HTTP server. But there is a problem.
I work on a "embedded" device. This device doesn't have so much memory (128MB) and the free memory available after a boot is about 30MB. When I send a file, I open it and put its content in a evbuffer. So, when the file is about a few kilobytes, it goes well but when I try to send a big file (a 70MB file for example), the device doesn't have the required memory and the sending fails. Is there a way to send a big file by chunks ? I saw on different documentations I can use the "Expect: 100-Continue" http/1.1 feature. I read a little bit the source code of libevent and it doesn't seem to implement this. Am I correct ? Do you know a guy who did this ? Perhaps there is a source code or a patch somewhere ? If not, I can work on this because I really need this "feature". Do you have some advices ? Perhaps you have already thought about how to implement this, haven't you ?
