	<title>Description</title>

	<para>The <function>ne_set_request_body_buffer</function>
function specifies that a message body should be included with the
body, which is stored in the <parameter>count</parameter> bytes buffer
<parameter>buf</parameter>.</para>

<!--
	<para>The <function>ne_set_request_body_fd</function> function
can be used to include a message body with a request which is read
from a file descriptor.  The body is read from the file descriptor
<parameter>fd</parameter>, which must be a associated with a seekable
file (not a pipe, socket, or FIFO).  <parameter>count</parameter>
bytes are read, beginning at offset <parameter>begin</parameter>
(passing <parameter>begin</parameter> as zero means the body is read
from the beginning of the file).</para>
