-F form encoded values doesnt gets implemented

[vinchauhan]

Are you requesting support for a new curl flag? If so, what is the flag and the equivalent Go code?

# curl -v -u admin:admin123 -X POST 'http://localhost:8081/service/rest/v1/components?repository=maven-releases' -F maven2.groupId=com.google.guava -F maven2.artifactId=guava -F maven2.version=24.0-jre -F [email protected] -F maven2.asset1.extension=jar -F [email protected] -F maven2.asset2.classifier=sources -F maven2.asset2.extension=jar

From Curl manual pages -

curl also supports the more capable multipart/form-data type. This latter type supports things like file upload.

-F accepts parameters like -F "name=contents". If you want the contents to be read from a file, use <@filename> as contents. When specifying a file, you can also specify the file content type by appending ';type=' to the file name. You can also post the contents of several files in one field. For example, the field name 'coolfiles' is used to send three files, with different content types using the following syntax:

    curl -F "[email protected];type=image/gif,fil2.txt,fil3.html" \ 
         http://www.post.com/postit.cgi

If the content-type is not specified, curl will try to guess from the file extension (it only knows a few), or use the previously specified type (from an earlier file if several files are specified in a list) or else it will use the default type 'application/octet-stream'.

Emulate a fill-in form with -F. Let's say you fill in three fields in a form. One field is a file name which to post, one field is your name and one field is a file description. We want to post the file we have written named "cooltext.txt". To let curl do the posting of this data instead of your favourite browser, you have to read the HTML source of the form page and find the names of the input fields. In our example, the input field names are 'file', 'yourname' and 'filedescription'.

    curl -F "[email protected]" -F "yourname=Daniel" \ 
         -F "filedescription=Cool text file with cool text inside" \ 
         http://www.post.com/postit.cgi
