Re: Is it possible to use data from the response header to a POST in a subsequent GET?

Thanks for replying, Robert.

Yes, cctx->post_data[0] is set to zero, and that's the problem. This  
causes the condition "else if (cctx->post_data && cctx->post_data[0])"  
to fail, and to drop through to the "post_data is NULL" error, which  
aborts the batch run.

When I comment out the second part: "else if (cctx->post_data /* &&  
cctx->post_data[0] */)", we call init_client_url_post_data, and this  
seems to work.


if (url->req_type == HTTP_REQ_TYPE_POST)
  {
    /*
       Make POST, using post buffer, if requested.
    */
      if (url->upload_file && url->upload_file_ptr && (!cctx- 
 >post_data || !cctx->post_data[0]))
      {
          curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
      }
      else if (cctx->post_data && cctx->post_data[0])
      {
        /*
           Sets POST as the HTTP request method using either:
           - POST-fields;
           - multipart form-data as in RFC 1867;
        */
        if (init_client_url_post_data (cctx, url) == -1)
          {
            fprintf (stderr,
                     "%s - error: init_client_url_post_data() failed. 
\n",
                     __func__);
            return -1;
          }
      }
      else
      {
        fprintf (stderr, "%s - error: post_data is NULL.\n", __func__);
        return -1;
      }
  }


Thanks,
