NAME
       CURLOPT_PUT - make an HTTP PUT request

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PUT, long put);

DESCRIPTION
       A  parameter  set  to  1  tells the library to use HTTP PUT to transfer
       data.  The  data  should  be  set  with  CURLOPT_READDATA(3)  and  CUR-
       LOPT_INFILESIZE(3).

       This option is deprecated since version 7.12.1. Use CURLOPT_UPLOAD(3)!

       0, disabled

PROTOCOLS
       HTTP

EXAMPLE
       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
         /* we want to use our own read function */
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_READFUNCTION, read_callback);

         /* enable PUT */
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PUT, 1L);

         /* specify target */
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/dir/to/newfile");

         /* now specify which pointer to pass to our callback */
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_READDATA, hd_src);

         /* Set the size of the file to upload */
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE_LARGE, (curl_off_t)fsize);

         /* Now run off and do what you have been told! */
         curl_easy_perform(curl);
       }

AVAILABILITY
       Deprecated since 7.12.1. Do not use.
