Your code snippet as shown is incomplete so we can't easily run it and see for ourselves. You also didn't mention what your code actually sent or how it differed to what you expected. Can you elaborate?

Also, how did your application do in regards to request headers compared to what you wanted it to send?

(Tip: https://httpbin.org/ is a neat service to work out test shots against to make sure applications do exactly what we want them to...)

This is an issue tracker, in the future please post your libcurl questions to curl-library. There are at least two problems with your code:

First problem: Server returns error HTTP/1.1 411 Length Required. That is because you're using header = curl_slist_append (header, "Transfer-Encoding: chunked"); and the server does not accept chunked encoding for those requests. There are two ways to deal with that, 1) read the xml file into memory and pass it to CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS; or 2) get the file size and pass it to CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE_LARGE. Here is an example of the latter using fstat:

#include <sys/stat.h>
...
FILE *inpfile = fopen("input file","rb"); /* open the file in binary mode */
...
struct stat stbuf = { 0, };
if(fstat(fileno(inpfile), &stbuf) || stbuf.st_size < 0) {
  /* file size unknown, bail out */
}
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE_LARGE, (curl_off_t)stbuf.st_size );

Note in Windows the file size in st_size is 32-bits by default and the value will be incorrect if the file size is larger. While I doubt that's a problem with your xml file, if you're sending other larger files in Windows use struct _stati64 and _fstati64() instead.

Second problem: Server returns error HTTP/1.1 415 Unsupported Media Type. That is because of header = curl_slist_append (header, "Content-Type:HTTP/XML");. I'm pretty sure HTTP/XML is not valid I've never heard of that. Remove that and use the one you had commented out header = curl_slist_append (header, "Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8");.

Also one thing that may be a problem is stating you accept gzip via curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING, "gzip");. If your libcurl doesn't support gzip and the server returns Content-Encoding: gzip then libcurl doesn't have the ability to decode it, so unless you're doing it on your own I wouldn't do that. I would instead set it to an empty string curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING, ""); which will send gzip in Accept-Encoding only if your libcurl supports automatically decoding it in the response.

[shaka25]

well, I email my issue to the email you recommend and crickets nothing at all.

[jay]

well, I email my issue to the email you recommend and crickets nothing at all.
curl-users-request@cool.haxx.se

That's the subscription confirmation address for curl-users I believe, I'd guess that address is automated to subscribe and unsubscribe. To e-mail curl-users after subscribing to that list you would e-mail curl-users@cool.haxx.se. But in your case this is a libcurl issue so as I mentioned if you need to ask libcurl questions subscribe to curl-library. Then to ask a question you would e-mail the list at curl-library@cool.haxx.se.
