httpc: allow streaming of PUT and POST request bodies
This is a must when uploading large bodies that are to large to store in a string or binary. Besides a string or binary, a body can now be a function and an accumulator. Example: -module(httpc_post_stream_test). -compile(export_all). -define(LEN, 1024 * 1024). prepare_data() -> {ok, Fd} = file:open("test_data.dat", [binary, write]), ok = file:write(Fd, lists:duplicate(?LEN, "1")), ok = file:close(Fd). test() -> inets:start(), ok = prepare_data(), {ok, Fd1} = file:open("test_data.dat", [binary, read]), BodyFun = fun(Fd) -> case file:read(Fd, 512) of eof -> eof; {ok, Data} -> {ok, Data, Fd} end end, {ok, {{_,200,_}, _, _}} = httpc:request(post, {"http://localhost:8888", [{"content-length", integer_to_list(?LEN)}], "text/plain", {BodyFun, Fd1}}, [], []), ok = file:close(Fd1).
