You can set a callback function to receive incoming data chunks using curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, myfunc); The callback will take a user defined argument that you can set using curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, p) Here’s a snippet of code that passes a buffer struct string {*ptr; len} to the callback function and grows that buffer on each call … Read more
The __imp__ prefix appears whenever you are linking to a DLL. It does not appear when linking to statically linked libraries. Most likely the code is generated to be linked against a DLL import lib, but you have linked it with a static lib instead. The prefix is added when you mark the imported function … Read more
Write a function that takes a char and returns true if you want to remove that character or false if you want to keep it: bool my_predicate(char c); Then use the std::remove_if algorithm to remove the unwanted characters from the string: std::string s = “my data”; s.erase(std::remove_if(s.begin(), s.end(), my_predicate), s.end()); Depending on your requirements, you … Read more
I’m on a similar quest! I’m working on an app right now that requires cURL and just tonight in my search I came across your post here, and what I believe to be the answer: http://thesoftwarerogue.blogspot.com/2010/05/porting-of-libcurl-to-android-os-using.html Unlike the link you referenced, there are several follow-up comments from other people who claim to have success also … Read more
A lot of these instructions are out of date because they recommend the win32-ssl-devel-msvc package for curl, which no longer exists. The following instructions allow you to build libcurl using only: Visual Studio 2013 curl generic source tarball (tested on curl 7.44.0). A. Build libcurl static library Download the latest curl generic source from: http://curl.haxx.se/latest.cgi?curl=tar.gz … Read more
Here’s how I’ve got curl to work with Visual Studio 2017 15.9.14: Download curl zip package from https://curl.haxx.se/download.html (latest verified is: https://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.70.0.zip) Extract downloaded package to a folder of your choice (e.g. C:\curl\) Open Developer Command Prompt for VS 2017 (see Windows Start menu or %PROGRAMDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Visual Studio 2017\Visual Studio Tools\) and cd to C:\curl\winbuild\ … Read more
cURL PHP documentation (curl_setopt) says: CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE – TRUE to force the connection to explicitly close when it has finished processing, and not be pooled for reuse. So: Yes, actually it should re-use connections by default, as long as you re-use the cURL handle. by default, cURL handles persistent connections by itself; should you need some … Read more
sys.path is only searched for Python modules. For dynamic linked libraries, the paths searched must be in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Check if your LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes /usr/local/lib, and if it doesn’t, add it and try again. Some more information (source): In Linux, the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH is a colon-separated set of directories where libraries should be searched for … Read more
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER checks that the remote certificate is valid, i.e. that you trust that it was issued by a CA you trust and that it’s genuine. CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST checks that the cert was issued to the entity you wanted to talk to. To compare it to a real-life scenario, VERIFYPEER is like checking that the form of … Read more
The example you are using is wrong. See the man page for easy_setopt. In the example write_data uses its own FILE, *outfile, and not the fp that was specified in CURLOPT_WRITEDATA. That’s why closing fp causes problems – it’s not even opened. This is more or less what it should look like (no libcurl available … Read more
