== NAME
nng_http_req_set_data - set HTTP request body
== SYNOPSIS
[source, c]
----
#include <nng/nng.h>
#include <nng/supplemental/http/http.h>
int nng_http_req_set_data(nng_http_req *req, const void *body, size_t size);
----
== DESCRIPTION
The `nng_http_req_set_data()` sets the HTTP body associated with
the request _req_ to _body_, and the size of the body to _size_.
This body data will be automatically sent with the request when it
is sent using xref:nng_http_conn_write_req.3http.adoc[`nng_http_conn_write_req()`].
This also updates the relevant `Content-Length` header of _req_.
NOTE: The current framework does not support sending data via chunked
transfer-encoding.
The _body_ is *not* copied, and the caller must ensure that it is available
until the _req_ is deallocated.
TIP: To have a local copy allocated with _req_ that will be automatically
deallocated when _req_ is freed,
see xref:nng_http_req_copy_data.3http.adoc[`nng_http_req_copy_data()`].
TIP: It is a good idea to also set the `Content-Type` header.
== RETURN VALUES
This function returns 0 on success, and non-zero otherwise.
== ERRORS
[horizontal]
`NNG_ENOMEM`:: Insufficient memory to perform the operation.
`NNG_ENOTSUP`:: No support for HTTP in the library.
