title: "C11. Use the Progress Callback"
order: 11
status: "draft"
---
To display download or upload progress, pass a `DownloadProgress` or `UploadProgress` callback. Both take two arguments: `(current, total)`.
## Download progress
```cpp
httplib::Client cli("http://localhost:8080");
auto res = cli.Get("/large-file",
[](size_t current, size_t total) {
auto percent = (total > 0) ? (current * 100 / total) : 0;
std::cout << "\rDownloading: " << percent << "% ("
<< current << "/" << total << ")" << std::flush;
return true; // return false to abort
});
std::cout << std::endl;
```
The callback fires each time data arrives. `total` comes from the Content-Length header — if the server doesn't send one, it may be `0`. In that case, you can't compute a percentage, so just display bytes received.
## Upload progress
Uploads work the same way. Pass an `UploadProgress` as the last argument to `Post()` or `Put()`.
```cpp
httplib::Client cli("http://localhost:8080");
std::string body = load_large_body();
auto res = cli.Post("/upload", body, "application/octet-stream",
[](size_t current, size_t total) {
auto percent = current * 100 / total;
std::cout << "\rUploading: " << percent << "%" << std::flush;
return true;
});
std::cout << std::endl;
```
## Cancel mid-transfer
Return `false` from the callback to abort the transfer. This is how you wire up a "Cancel" button in a UI — flip a flag, and the next progress tick stops the transfer.
```cpp
std::atomic<bool> cancelled{false};
auto res = cli.Get("/large-file",
[&](size_t current, size_t total) {
return !cancelled.load();
});
```
> **Note:** `ContentReceiver` and the progress callback can be used together. When you want to stream to a file and show progress at the same time, pass both.
