Re: [libmicrohttpd] [Q] question about using POST in proxy mode

[Christian Grothoff]

Dear Tawan,

To parse the incoming POST, you should use the MHD_PostProcessor API.
The recently added 'demo.c' example demonstrates how to use it 
extensively. (Note that this code is so far not in the release version;
you can find it in SVN HEAD under src/examples/.)

Happy hacking!

Christian
