.B CURLFORM_FILE
.IP CURLFORM_FILE

.B CURLFORM_CONTENTTYPE
.IP CURLFORM_CONTENTTYPE
followed by a pointer to a string with a content-type will make curl use this
given content-type for this file upload part, possibly instead of an
internally chosen one.
.B CURLFORM_FILENAME
.IP CURLFORM_FILENAME
followed by a pointer to a string to a name, will make libcurl use the given
name in the file upload part, instead of the actual file name given to
\fICURLFORM_FILE\fP.
.B BCURLFORM_BUFFER
.IP BCURLFORM_BUFFER
followed by a string, tells libcurl that a buffer is to be used to upload data
instead of using a file. The given string is used as the value of the file
name field in the content header.
.B CURLFORM_BUFFERPTR
.IP CURLFORM_BUFFERPTR
followed by a pointer to a data area, tells libcurl the address of the buffer
containing data to upload (as indicated with \fICURLFORM_BUFFER\fP). The
buffer containing this data must not be freed until after

.B CURLFORM_CONTENTHEADER
.IP CURLFORM_CONTENTHEADER
specifies extra headers for the form POST section. This takes a curl_slist
