How can I post some data (not file)?

[luodijia]

Can the -P parameter supports to post some string?

Not, at the moment, no:

        case 'P':
            client_ctx.payload = optarg;
            if (0 != stat(optarg, &st))
            {
                perror("stat");
                exit(2);
            }

But pull requests are welcome!

Thx. Then how can I modify some code to support posting some string? Which interface or code segment can put the contents of file to the request body? Wait for your advice! Thx again!

Start with this code in test/http_client.c:

    if (st_h->client_ctx->payload)
    {
        st_h->reader.lsqr_read = test_reader_read;
        st_h->reader.lsqr_size = test_reader_size;
        st_h->reader.lsqr_ctx = create_lsquic_reader_ctx(st_h->client_ctx->payload);
        if (!st_h->reader.lsqr_ctx)
            exit(1);
    }
    else
        st_h->reader.lsqr_ctx = NULL;

test_reader_read() reads from a file. You can change it (or add another reader) to do something else.
