# crashpad_http_upload(1) ## Name crashpad_http_upload—Send an HTTP POST request ## Synopsis **crashpad_http_uplaod** [_OPTION…_] ## Description Performs an HTTP or HTTPS POST, building a `multipart/form-data` request from key-value pairs and files in the manner of an HTML `

` with a POST action. Provides the response. Programs that use the Crashpad client library directly will not normally use this tool. This tool is provided for debugging and testing as it isolates Crashpad’s networking implementation normally used to upload crash reports to a crash report collection server, making it available for more general use. ## Options * **-f**, **--file**=_KEY_=_PATH_ Include _PATH_ in the request as a file upload, in the manner of an HTML `` element. _KEY_ is used as the field name. * **--no-upload-gzip** Do not use `gzip` compression. Normally, the entire request body is compressed into a `gzip` stream and transmitted with `Content-Encoding: gzip`. This option disables compression, and is intended for use with servers that don’t accept uploads compressed in this way. * **-o**, **--output**=_FILE_ The response body will be written to _FILE_ instead of standard output. * **-s**, **--string**=_KEY_=_VALUE_ Include _KEY_ and _VALUE_ in the request as an ordinary form field, in the manner of an HTML `` element. _KEY_ is used as the field name, and _VALUE_ is used as its value. * **-u**, **--url**=_URL_ Send the request to _URL_. This option is required. * **--help** Display help and exit. * **--version** Output version information and exit. ## Examples Uploads a file to an HTTP server running on `localhost`. ``` $ crashpad_http-upload --url http://localhost/upload_test \ --string=when=now --file=what=1040.pdf Thanks for the upload! ``` This example corresponds to the HTML form: ```

``` ## Exit Status * **0** Success. * **1** Failure, with a message printed to the standard error stream. HTTP error statuses such as 404 (Not Found) are included in the definition of failure. ## See Also [crashpad_handler(8)](../handler/crashpad_handler.md) ## Resources Crashpad home page: https://crashpad.chromium.org/.
