Can also be "hex" or "base64" to provide data encoded with hex or base64 algorithm.
Possible encoding names: ANSI, ISO-8859-1, Latin1, Mac, Native, UTF-8, DOS, Hex, Base64 or Windows. More listed in the FAQ.		 "UTF-8" Optional

Description

Sets input data for this transfer to be the text you provide.
Also sets input file length. You need to define input data for file uploads, http posts and http put operations.
Please make sure you choose the text encoding the other side expects.
To avoid chunked transfer to the server, you can also use CURL.SetOptionPostFields instead for text input.
If you set CURL.SetOptionHTTPHeader with Transfer-Encoding and/or Expect, you can disable chunked transfer.

For HTTP POST, please use CURL.SetOptionPost with 1 and CURL.SetOptionPostFields with your POST content using web services and other things.

Using this function is not recommended for more than a few hundred MB of text. If you need more, better stream the data with CURL.OpenInputFile from a file.

Examples

Set Text:

MBS("CURL.SetInputText"; $curl; "Hello World"; "utf8")

MBS("CURL.SetInputText"; $curl; "Hello World")
MBS("CURL.SetOptionHTTPHeader"; $curl; "Transfer-Encoding:"; "Expect:")
