Soup.MessageBody.set_accumulate

### Method

# Soup MessageBodyset_accumulate

#### Declaration [src]

    void
    soup_message_body_set_accumulate (
      SoupMessageBody* body,
      gboolean accumulate
    )

#### Description [src]

Sets or clears the accumulate flag on `body`.

(The default value is `TRUE`.) If set to `FALSE`, `body`‘s data field will not be filled in after the body is fully sent/received, and the chunks that make up `body` may be discarded when they are no longer needed.

If you set the flag to `FALSE` on the `SoupMessage` request_body of a client-side message, it will block the accumulation of chunks into `body`‘s data field, but it will not normally cause the chunks to be discarded after being written like in the server-side `SoupMessage` response_body case, because the request body needs to be kept around in case the request needs to be sent a second time due to redirection or authentication.

#### Parameters

`accumulate`

  Type: `gboolean`

  Whether or not to accumulate body chunks in `body`.
