Calling + conventions, function arguments, return values, struct sizes/defines and + more. + + For a longer description, see + http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_binary_interface + +Upgrades + + In the vast majority of all cases, a typical libcurl upgrade does not break + the ABI at all. Your application can remain using libcurl just as before, + only with less bugs and possibly with added new features. You need to read + the release notes, and if they mention an ABI break/soname bump, you may + have to verify that your application still builds fine and uses libcurl as + it now is defined to work. + +Version Numbers + + In libcurl land, you really can't tell by the libcurl version number if that + libcurl is binary compatible or not with another libcurl version. + +Soname Bumps + + Whenever there are changes done to the library that will cause an ABI + breakage, that may require your application to get attention or possibly be + changed to adhere to new things, we will bump the soname. Then the library + will get a different output name and thus can in fact be installed in + parallel with an older installed lib (on most systems). Thus, old + applications built against the previous ABI version will remain working and + using the older lib, while newer applications build and use the newer one. + + During the first seven years of libcurl releases, there have only been four + ABI breakages. + +Downgrades + + Going to an older libcurl version from one you're currently using can be a + tricky thing. Mostly we add features and options to newer libcurls as that + won't break ABI or hamper existing applications. This has the implication + that going backwards may get you in a situation where you pick a libcurl + that doesn't support the options your application needs. Or possibly you + even downgrade so far so you cross an ABI break border and thus a different + soname, and then your application may need to adapt to the modified ABI. + +History + + The previous major library soname number bumps (breaking backwards + compatibility) have happened the following times: + + 0 - libcurl 7.1, August 2000 + + 1 - libcurl 7.5 December 2000 + + 2 - libcurl 7.7 March 2001 + + 3 - libcurl 7.12.0 June 2004 + + 4 - libcurl 7.16.0 October 2006 diff --git a/docs/libcurl/Makefile.am b/docs/libcurl/Makefile.am new file mode 100644 index 000000000..3114e2b3b --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/libcurl/Makefile.am @@ -0,0 +1,102 @@ +#*************************************************************************** +# _ _ ____ _ +# Project ___| | | | _ \| | +# / __| | | | |_) | | +# | (__| |_| | _ <| |___ +# \___|\___/|_| \_\_____| +# +# Copyright (C) 1998 - 2012, Daniel Stenberg, <daniel@haxx.se>, et al. +# +# This software is licensed as described in the file COPYING, which +# you should have received as part of this distribution.

This option was previously known as CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE in +libcurl 7.10.7 and earlier. The value will be zero if no server response code +has been received. Note that a proxy's CONNECT response should be read with +\fICURLINFO_HTTP_CONNECTCODE\fP and not this. + +Support for SMTP responses added in 7.25.0. +.IP CURLINFO_HTTP_CONNECTCODE +Pass a pointer to a long to receive the last received proxy response code to a +CONNECT request. +.IP CURLINFO_FILETIME +Pass a pointer to a long to receive the remote time of the retrieved document +(in number of seconds since 1 jan 1970 in the GMT/UTC time zone). If you get +-1, it can be because of many reasons (unknown, the server hides it or the +server doesn't support the command that tells document time etc) and the time +of the document is unknown. Note that you must tell the server to collect this +information before the transfer is made, by using the CURLOPT_FILETIME option +to \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP or you will unconditionally get a -1 back. (Added +in 7.5) +.IP CURLINFO_TOTAL_TIME +Pass a pointer to a double to receive the total time in seconds for the +previous transfer, including name resolving, TCP connect etc. +.IP CURLINFO_NAMELOOKUP_TIME +Pass a pointer to a double to receive the time, in seconds, it took from the +start until the name resolving was completed. +.IP CURLINFO_CONNECT_TIME +Pass a pointer to a double to receive the time, in seconds, it took from the +start until the connect to the remote host (or proxy) was completed. +.IP CURLINFO_APPCONNECT_TIME +Pass a pointer to a double to receive the time, in seconds, it took from the +start until the SSL/SSH connect/handshake to the remote host was completed. +This time is most often very near to the PRETRANSFER time, except for cases +such as HTTP pippelining where the pretransfer time can be delayed due to +waits in line for the pipeline and more. (Added in 7.19.0) +.IP CURLINFO_PRETRANSFER_TIME +Pass a pointer to a double to receive the time, in seconds, it took from the +start until the file transfer is just about to begin. This includes all +pre-transfer commands and negotiations that are specific to the particular +protocol(s) involved. It does \fInot\fP involve the sending of the protocol- +specific request that triggers a transfer. +.IP CURLINFO_STARTTRANSFER_TIME +Pass a pointer to a double to receive the time, in seconds, it took from the +start until the first byte is received by libcurl. This includes +CURLINFO_PRETRANSFER_TIME and also the time the server needs to calculate the +result. +.IP CURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME +Pass a pointer to a double to receive the total time, in seconds, it took for +all redirection steps include name lookup, connect, pretransfer and transfer +before final transaction was started. CURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME contains the +complete execution time for multiple redirections. (Added in 7.9.7) +.IP CURLINFO_REDIRECT_COUNT +Pass a pointer to a long to receive the total number of redirections that were +actually followed. (Added in 7.9.7) +.IP CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL +Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive the URL a redirect \fIwould\fP +take you to if you would enable CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION. This can come very +handy if you think using the built-in libcurl redirect logic isn't good enough +for you but you would still prefer to avoid implementing all the magic of +figuring out the new URL. (Added in 7.18.2) +.IP CURLINFO_SIZE_UPLOAD +Pass a pointer to a double to receive the total amount of bytes that were +uploaded. +.IP CURLINFO_SIZE_DOWNLOAD +Pass a pointer to a double to receive the total amount of bytes that were +downloaded. The amount is only for the latest transfer and will be reset again +for each new transfer. +.IP CURLINFO_SPEED_DOWNLOAD +Pass a pointer to a double to receive the average download speed that curl +measured for the complete download. Measured in bytes/second. +.IP CURLINFO_SPEED_UPLOAD +Pass a pointer to a double to receive the average upload speed that curl +measured for the complete upload. Measured in bytes/second. +.IP CURLINFO_HEADER_SIZE +Pass a pointer to a long to receive the total size of all the headers +received. Measured in number of bytes. +.IP CURLINFO_REQUEST_SIZE +Pass a pointer to a long to receive the total size of the issued +requests. This is so far only for HTTP requests. Note that this may be more +than one request if FOLLOWLOCATION is true. +.IP CURLINFO_SSL_VERIFYRESULT +Pass a pointer to a long to receive the result of the certification +verification that was requested (using the CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER option to +\fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP). +.IP CURLINFO_SSL_ENGINES +Pass the address of a 'struct curl_slist *' to receive a linked-list of +OpenSSL crypto-engines supported. Note that engines are normally implemented +in separate dynamic libraries. Hence not all the returned engines may be +available at run-time. \fBNOTE:\fP you must call \fIcurl_slist_free_all(3)\fP +on the list pointer once you're done with it, as libcurl will not free the +data for you. (Added in 7.12.3) +.IP CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD +Pass a pointer to a double to receive the content-length of the download. This +is the value read from the Content-Length: field. Since 7.19.4, this returns -1 +if the size isn't known. +.IP CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_UPLOAD +Pass a pointer to a double to receive the specified size of the upload. Since +7.19.4, this returns -1 if the size isn't known. +.IP CURLINFO_CONTENT_TYPE +Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive the content-type of the downloaded +object. This is the value read from the Content-Type: field. If you get NULL, +it means that the server didn't send a valid Content-Type header or that the +protocol used doesn't support this. +.IP CURLINFO_PRIVATE +Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive the pointer to the private data +associated with the curl handle (set with the CURLOPT_PRIVATE option to +\fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP). Please note that for internal reasons, the +value is returned as a char pointer, although effectively being a 'void *'. +(Added in 7.10.3) +.IP CURLINFO_HTTPAUTH_AVAIL +Pass a pointer to a long to receive a bitmask indicating the authentication +method(s) available. The meaning of the bits is explained in the +CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH option for \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP. (Added in 7.10.8) +.IP CURLINFO_PROXYAUTH_AVAIL +Pass a pointer to a long to receive a bitmask indicating the authentication +method(s) available for your proxy authentication. (Added in 7.10.8) +.IP CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO +Pass a pointer to a long to receive the errno variable from a connect failure. +Note that the value is only set on failure, it is not reset upon a +successfull operation. (Added in 7.12.2) +.IP CURLINFO_NUM_CONNECTS +Pass a pointer to a long to receive how many new connections libcurl had to +create to achieve the previous transfer (only the successful connects are +counted). Combined with \fICURLINFO_REDIRECT_COUNT\fP you are able to know +how many times libcurl successfully reused existing connection(s) or not. See +the Connection Options of \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP to see how libcurl tries +to make persistent connections to save time. (Added in 7.12.3) +.IP CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP +Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive the pointer to a zero-terminated +string holding the IP address of the most recent connection done with this +\fBcurl\fP handle. This string may be IPv6 if that's enabled. Note that you +get a pointer to a memory area that will be re-used at next request so you +need to copy the string if you want to keep the information. (Added in 7.19.0) +.IP CURLINFO_PRIMARY_PORT +Pass a pointer to a long to receive the destination port of the most recent +connection done with this \fBcurl\fP handle. (Added in 7.21.0) +.IP CURLINFO_LOCAL_IP +Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive the pointer to a zero-terminated +string holding the local (source) IP address of the most recent connection done +with this \fBcurl\fP handle. This string may be IPv6 if that's enabled. The +same restrictions apply as to \fICURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP\fP. (Added in 7.21.0) +.IP CURLINFO_LOCAL_PORT +Pass a pointer to a long to receive the local (source) port of the most recent +connection done with this \fBcurl\fP handle. (Added in 7.21.0) +.IP CURLINFO_COOKIELIST +Pass a pointer to a 'struct curl_slist *' to receive a linked-list of all +cookies cURL knows (expired ones, too). Don't forget to +\fIcurl_slist_free_all(3)\fP the list after it has been used. If there are no +cookies (cookies for the handle have not been enabled or simply none have been +received) 'struct curl_slist *' will be set to point to NULL. (Added in +7.14.1) +.IP CURLINFO_LASTSOCKET +Pass a pointer to a long to receive the last socket used by this curl +session. If the socket is no longer valid, -1 is returned. When you finish +working with the socket, you must call curl_easy_cleanup() as usual and let +libcurl close the socket and cleanup other resources associated with the +handle. This is typically used in combination with \fICURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY\fP. +(Added in 7.15.2) + +NOTE: this API is not really working on win64, since the SOCKET type on win64 +is 64 bit large while its 'long' is only 32 bits. +.IP CURLINFO_FTP_ENTRY_PATH +Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive a pointer to a string holding the +path of the entry path. That is the initial path libcurl ended up in when +logging on to the remote FTP server. This stores a NULL as pointer if +something is wrong. (Added in 7.15.4) + +Also works for SFTP since 7.21.4 +.IP CURLINFO_CERTINFO +Pass a pointer to a 'struct curl_certinfo *' and you'll get it set to point to +struct that holds a number of linked lists with info about the certificate +chain, assuming you had CURLOPT_CERTINFO enabled when the previous request was +done. The struct reports how many certs it found and then you can extract info +for each of those certs by following the linked lists. The info chain is +provided in a series of data in the format "name:content" where the content is +for the specific named data. See also the certinfo.c example. NOTE: this +option is only available in libcurl built with OpenSSL support. (Added in +7.19.1) +.IP CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET +Pass a pointer to a long to receive the number 1 if the condition provided in +the previous request didn't match (see \fICURLOPT_TIMECONDITION\fP). Alas, if +this returns a 1 you know that the reason you didn't get data in return is +because it didn't fulfill the condition. The long ths argument points to will +get a zero stored if the condition instead was met. (Added in 7.19.4) +.IP CURLINFO_RTSP_SESSION_ID +Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive a pointer to a string holding the +most recent RTSP Session ID. + +Applications wishing to resume an RTSP session on another connection should +retreive this info before closing the active connection. +.IP CURLINFO_RTSP_CLIENT_CSEQ +Pass a pointer to a long to receive the next CSeq that will be used by the +application. +.IP CURLINFO_RTSP_SERVER_CSEQ +Pass a pointer to a long to receive the next server CSeq that will be expected +by the application. + +\fI(NOTE: listening for server initiated requests is currently +unimplemented).\fP + +Applications wishing to resume an RTSP session on another connection should +retreive this info before closing the active connection. +.IP CURLINFO_RTSP_CSEQ_RECV +Pass a pointer to a long to receive the most recently received CSeq from the +server.

A write callback +that returns pause signals to the library that it couldn't take care of any +data at all, and that data will then be delivered again to the callback when +the writing is later unpaused. + +NOTE: while it may feel tempting, take care and notice that you cannot call +this function from another thread. + +When this function is called to unpause reading, the chance is high that you +will get your write callback called before this function returns. + +The \fBhandle\fP argument is of course identifying the handle that operates on +the connection you want to pause or unpause. + +The \fBbitmask\fP argument is a set of bits that sets the new state of the +connection.

By using the +appropriate options to \fIcurl_easy_setopt\fP, you can change libcurl's +behavior. All options are set with the \fIoption\fP followed by a +\fIparameter\fP. That parameter can be a \fBlong\fP, a \fBfunction pointer\fP, +an \fBobject pointer\fP or a \fBcurl_off_t\fP, depending on what the specific +option expects. Read this manual carefully as bad input values may cause +libcurl to behave badly! You can only set one option in each function call. A +typical application uses many curl_easy_setopt() calls in the setup phase. + +Options set with this function call are valid for all forthcoming transfers +performed using this \fIhandle\fP. The options are not in any way reset +between transfers, so if you want subsequent transfers with different options, +you must change them between the transfers. You can optionally reset all +options back to internal default with \fIcurl_easy_reset(3)\fP. + +Strings passed to libcurl as 'char *' arguments, are copied by the library; +thus the string storage associated to the pointer argument may be overwritten +after curl_easy_setopt() returns. Exceptions to this rule are described in +the option details below. + +Before version 7.17.0, strings were not copied. Instead the user was forced +keep them available until libcurl no longer needed them. + +The \fIhandle\fP is the return code from a \fIcurl_easy_init(3)\fP or +\fIcurl_easy_duphandle(3)\fP call. +.SH BEHAVIOR OPTIONS +.IP CURLOPT_VERBOSE +Set the parameter to 1 to get the library to display a lot of verbose +information about its operations. Very useful for libcurl and/or protocol +debugging and understanding. The verbose information will be sent to stderr, +or the stream set with \fICURLOPT_STDERR\fP. + +You hardly ever want this set in production use, you will almost always want +this when you debug/report problems. Another neat option for debugging is the +\fICURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION\fP. +.IP CURLOPT_HEADER +A parameter set to 1 tells the library to include the header in the body +output. This is only relevant for protocols that actually have headers +preceding the data (like HTTP). +.IP CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS +Pass a long. If set to 1, it tells the library to shut off the progress meter +completely. It will also prevent the \fICURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION\fP from +getting called. + +Future versions of libcurl are likely to not have any built-in progress meter +at all. +.IP CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL +Pass a long. If it is 1, libcurl will not use any functions that +install signal handlers or any functions that cause signals to be sent to the +process. This option is mainly here to allow multi-threaded unix applications +to still set/use all timeout options etc, without risking getting signals. +(Added in 7.10) + +If this option is set and libcurl has been built with the standard name +resolver, timeouts will not occur while the name resolve takes place. +Consider building libcurl with c-ares support to enable asynchronous DNS +lookups, which enables nice timeouts for name resolves without signals. + +Setting \fICURLOPT_NOSIGNAL\fP to 1 makes libcurl NOT ask the system to ignore +SIGPIPE signals, which otherwise are sent by the system when trying to send +data to a socket which is closed in the other end. libcurl makes an effort to +never cause such SIGPIPEs to trigger, but some operating systems have no way +to avoid them and even on those that have there are some corner cases when +they may still happen, contrary to our desire. In addition, using +\fICURLAUTH_NTLM_WB\fP authentication could cause a SIGCHLD signal to be +raised. +.IP CURLOPT_WILDCARDMATCH +Set this option to 1 if you want to transfer multiple files according to a +file name pattern. The pattern can be specified as part of the +\fICURLOPT_URL\fP option, using an fnmatch-like pattern (Shell Pattern +Matching) in the last part of URL (file name). + +By default, libcurl uses its internal wildcard matching implementation. You +can provide your own matching function by the \fICURLOPT_FNMATCH_FUNCTION\fP +option. + +This feature is only supported by the FTP download for now. + +A brief introduction of its syntax follows: +.RS +.IP "* - ASTERISK" +\&ftp://example.com/some/path/\fB*.txt\fP (for all txt's from the root +directory) +.RE +.RS +.IP "? - QUESTION MARK" +Question mark matches any (exactly one) character. + +\&ftp://example.com/some/path/\fBphoto?.jpeg\fP +.RE +.RS +.IP "[ - BRACKET EXPRESSION" +The left bracket opens a bracket expression. The question mark and asterisk have +no special meaning in a bracket expression. Each bracket expression ends by the +right bracket and matches exactly one character. Some examples follow: + +\fB[a-zA-Z0\-9]\fP or \fB[f\-gF\-G]\fP \- character interval + +\fB[abc]\fP - character enumeration + +\fB[^abc]\fP or \fB[!abc]\fP - negation + +\fB[[:\fP\fIname\fP\fB:]]\fP class expression. Supported classes are +\fBalnum\fP,\fBlower\fP, \fBspace\fP, \fBalpha\fP, \fBdigit\fP, \fBprint\fP, +\fBupper\fP, \fBblank\fP, \fBgraph\fP, \fBxdigit\fP. + +\fB[][-!^]\fP - special case \- matches only '\-', ']', '[', '!' or '^'. These +characters have no special purpose. + +\fB[\\[\\]\\\\]\fP - escape syntax.

The size of the data pointed to by \fIptr\fP is \fIsize\fP +multiplied with \fInmemb\fP, it will not be zero terminated. Return the number +of bytes actually taken care of. If that amount differs from the amount passed +to your function, it'll signal an error to the library. This will abort the +transfer and return \fICURLE_WRITE_ERROR\fP. + +From 7.18.0, the function can return CURL_WRITEFUNC_PAUSE which then will +cause writing to this connection to become paused. See +\fIcurl_easy_pause(3)\fP for further details. + +This function may be called with zero bytes data if the transferred file is +empty. + +Set this option to NULL to get the internal default function. The internal +default function will write the data to the FILE * given with +\fICURLOPT_WRITEDATA\fP. + +Set the \fIuserdata\fP argument with the \fICURLOPT_WRITEDATA\fP option. + +The callback function will be passed as much data as possible in all invokes, +but you cannot possibly make any assumptions. It may be one byte, it may be +thousands. The maximum amount of body data that can be passed to the write +callback is defined in the curl.h header file: CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE (the usual +default is 16K). If you however have \fICURLOPT_HEADER\fP set, which sends +header data to the write callback, you can get up to +\fICURL_MAX_HTTP_HEADER\fP bytes of header data passed into it. This usually +means 100K. +.IP CURLOPT_WRITEDATA +Data pointer to pass to the file write function. If you use the +\fICURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION\fP option, this is the pointer you'll get as +input. If you don't use a callback, you must pass a 'FILE *' as libcurl will +pass this to fwrite() when writing data. + +The internal \fICURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION\fP will write the data to the FILE * +given with this option, or to stdout if this option hasn't been set. + +If you're using libcurl as a win32 DLL, you \fBMUST\fP use the +\fICURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION\fP if you set this option or you will experience +crashes. + +This option is also known with the older name \fICURLOPT_FILE\fP, the name +\fICURLOPT_WRITEDATA\fP was introduced in 7.9.7. +.IP CURLOPT_READFUNCTION +Pass a pointer to a function that matches the following prototype: +\fBsize_t function( void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *userdata);\fP +This function gets called by libcurl as soon as it needs to read data in order +to send it to the peer. The data area pointed at by the pointer \fIptr\fP may +be filled with at most \fIsize\fP multiplied with \fInmemb\fP number of +bytes. Your function must return the actual number of bytes that you stored in +that memory area. Returning 0 will signal end-of-file to the library and cause +it to stop the current transfer. + +If you stop the current transfer by returning 0 "pre-maturely" (i.e before the +server expected it, like when you've said you will upload N bytes and you +upload less than N bytes), you may experience that the server "hangs" waiting +for the rest of the data that won't come. + +The read callback may return \fICURL_READFUNC_ABORT\fP to stop the current +operation immediately, resulting in a \fICURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK\fP error +code from the transfer (Added in 7.12.1) + +From 7.18.0, the function can return CURL_READFUNC_PAUSE which then will cause +reading from this connection to become paused. See \fIcurl_easy_pause(3)\fP +for further details. + +\fBBugs\fP: when doing TFTP uploads, you must return the exact amount of data +that the callback wants, or it will be considered the final packet by the +server end and the transfer will end there. + +If you set this callback pointer to NULL, or don't set it at all, the default +internal read function will be used. It is doing an fread() on the FILE * +userdata set with \fICURLOPT_READDATA\fP. +.IP CURLOPT_READDATA +Data pointer to pass to the file read function. If you use the +\fICURLOPT_READFUNCTION\fP option, this is the pointer you'll get as input. If +you don't specify a read callback but instead rely on the default internal +read function, this data must be a valid readable FILE *. + +If you're using libcurl as a win32 DLL, you MUST use a +\fICURLOPT_READFUNCTION\fP if you set this option. + +This option was also known by the older name \fICURLOPT_INFILE\fP, the name +\fICURLOPT_READDATA\fP was introduced in 7.9.7. +.IP CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION +Pass a pointer to a function that matches the following prototype: +\fBcurlioerr function(CURL *handle, int cmd, void *clientp);\fP. This function +gets called by libcurl when something special I/O-related needs to be done +that the library can't do by itself. For now, rewinding the read data stream +is the only action it can request. The rewinding of the read data stream may +be necessary when doing a HTTP PUT or POST with a multi-pass authentication +method. (Option added in 7.12.3). + +Use \fICURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION\fP instead to provide seeking! +.IP CURLOPT_IOCTLDATA +Pass a pointer that will be untouched by libcurl and passed as the 3rd +argument in the ioctl callback set with \fICURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION\fP. (Option +added in 7.12.3) +.IP CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION +Pass a pointer to a function that matches the following prototype: \fBint +function(void *instream, curl_off_t offset, int origin);\fP This function gets +called by libcurl to seek to a certain position in the input stream and can be +used to fast forward a file in a resumed upload (instead of reading all +uploaded bytes with the normal read function/callback). It is also called to +rewind a stream when doing a HTTP PUT or POST with a multi-pass authentication +method. The function shall work like "fseek" or "lseek" and accepted SEEK_SET, +SEEK_CUR and SEEK_END as argument for origin, although (in 7.18.0) libcurl +only passes SEEK_SET. The callback must return 0 (CURL_SEEKFUNC_OK) on +success, 1 (CURL_SEEKFUNC_FAIL) to cause the upload operation to fail or 2 +(CURL_SEEKFUNC_CANTSEEK) to indicate that while the seek failed, libcurl is +free to work around the problem if possible. The latter can sometimes be done +by instead reading from the input or similar. + +If you forward the input arguments directly to "fseek" or "lseek", note that +the data type for \fIoffset\fP is not the same as defined for curl_off_t on +many systems! (Option added in 7.18.0) +.IP CURLOPT_SEEKDATA +Data pointer to pass to the file seek function. If you use the +\fICURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION\fP option, this is the pointer you'll get as input. If +you don't specify a seek callback, NULL is passed. (Option added in 7.18.0) +.IP CURLOPT_SOCKOPTFUNCTION +Pass a pointer to a function that matches the following prototype: \fBint +function(void *clientp, curl_socket_t curlfd, curlsocktype purpose);\fP. This +function gets called by libcurl after the socket() call but before the +connect() call. The callback's \fIpurpose\fP argument identifies the exact +purpose for this particular socket: + +\fICURLSOCKTYPE_IPCXN\fP for actively created connections or since 7.28.0 +\fICURLSOCKTYPE_ACCEPT\fP for FTP when the connection was setup with PORT/EPSV +(in earlier versions these sockets weren't passed to this callback). + +Future versions of libcurl may support more purposes. It passes the newly +created socket descriptor so additional setsockopt() calls can be done at the +user's discretion. Return 0 (zero) from the callback on success. Return 1 +from the callback function to signal an unrecoverable error to the library and +it will close the socket and return \fICURLE_COULDNT_CONNECT\fP. (Option +added in 7.16.0) + +Added in 7.21.5, the callback function may return +\fICURL_SOCKOPT_ALREADY_CONNECTED\fP, which tells libcurl that the socket is +in fact already connected and then libcurl will not attempt to connect it. +.IP CURLOPT_SOCKOPTDATA +Pass a pointer that will be untouched by libcurl and passed as the first +argument in the sockopt callback set with \fICURLOPT_SOCKOPTFUNCTION\fP. +(Option added in 7.16.0) +.IP CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION +Pass a pointer to a function that matches the following prototype: +\fBcurl_socket_t function(void *clientp, curlsocktype purpose, struct +curl_sockaddr *address);\fP. This function gets called by libcurl instead of +the \fIsocket(2)\fP call. The callback's \fIpurpose\fP argument identifies the +exact purpose for this particular socket: \fICURLSOCKTYPE_IPCXN\fP is for IP +based connections. Future versions of libcurl may support more purposes. It +passes the resolved peer address as a \fIaddress\fP argument so the callback +can modify the address or refuse to connect at all. The callback function +should return the socket or \fICURL_SOCKET_BAD\fP in case no connection could +be established or another error was detected. Any additional +\fIsetsockopt(2)\fP calls can be done on the socket at the user's discretion. +\fICURL_SOCKET_BAD\fP return value from the callback function will signal an +unrecoverable error to the library and it will return +\fICURLE_COULDNT_CONNECT\fP. This return code can be used for IP address +blacklisting. The default behavior is: +.nf + return socket(addr->family, addr->socktype, addr->protocol); +.fi +(Option added in 7.17.1.) +.IP CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETDATA +Pass a pointer that will be untouched by libcurl and passed as the first +argument in the opensocket callback set with \fICURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION\fP. +(Option added in 7.17.1.) +.IP CURLOPT_CLOSESOCKETFUNCTION +Pass a pointer to a function that matches the following prototype: \fBint +function(void *clientp, curl_socket_t item);\fP. This function gets called by +libcurl instead of the \fIclose(3)\fP or \fIclosesocket(3)\fP call when +sockets are closed (not for any other file descriptors). This is pretty much +the reverse to the \fICURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION\fP option. Return 0 to signal +success and 1 if there was an error. (Option added in 7.21.7) +.IP CURLOPT_CLOSESOCKETDATA +Pass a pointer that will be untouched by libcurl and passed as the first +argument in the closesocket callback set with +\fICURLOPT_CLOSESOCKETFUNCTION\fP. (Option added in 7.21.7) +.IP CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION +Pass a pointer to a function that matches the following prototype: \fBint +function(void *clientp, double dltotal, double dlnow, double ultotal, double +ulnow); \fP. This function gets called by libcurl instead of its internal +equivalent with a frequent interval during operation (roughly once per second +or sooner) no matter if data is being transferred or not. Unknown/unused +argument values passed to the callback will be set to zero (like if you only +download data, the upload size will remain 0). Returning a non-zero value from +this callback will cause libcurl to abort the transfer and return +\fICURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK\fP. + +If you transfer data with the multi interface, this function will not be +called during periods of idleness unless you call the appropriate libcurl +function that performs transfers. + +\fICURLOPT_NOPROGRESS\fP must be set to 0 to make this function actually +get called. +.IP CURLOPT_PROGRESSDATA +Pass a pointer that will be untouched by libcurl and passed as the first +argument in the progress callback set with \fICURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION\fP. +.IP CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION +Pass a pointer to a function that matches the following prototype: +\fBsize_t function( void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void +*userdata);\fP. This function gets called by libcurl as soon as it has +received header data. The header callback will be called once for each header +and only complete header lines are passed on to the callback. Parsing headers +is very easy using this. The size of the data pointed to by \fIptr\fP is +\fIsize\fP multiplied with \fInmemb\fP. Do not assume that the header line is +zero terminated! The pointer named \fIuserdata\fP is the one you set with the +\fICURLOPT_WRITEHEADER\fP option. The callback function must return the number +of bytes actually taken care of. If that amount differs from the amount passed +to your function, it'll signal an error to the library. This will abort the +transfer and return \fICURL_WRITE_ERROR\fP. + +A complete HTTP header that is passed to this function can be up to +\fICURL_MAX_HTTP_HEADER\fP (100K) bytes. + +If this option is not set, or if it is set to NULL, but +\fICURLOPT_HEADERDATA\fP (\fICURLOPT_WRITEHEADER\fP) is set to anything but +NULL, the function used to accept response data will be used instead. That is, +it will be the function specified with \fICURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION\fP, or if it +is not specified or NULL - the default, stream-writing function. + +It's important to note that the callback will be invoked for the headers of +all responses received after initiating a request and not just the final +response. This includes all responses which occur during authentication +negotiation. If you need to operate on only the headers from the final +response, you will need to collect headers in the callback yourself and use +HTTP status lines, for example, to delimit response boundaries. + +When a server sends a chunked encoded transfer, it may contain a trailer. That +trailer is identical to a HTTP header and if such a trailer is received it is +passed to the application using this callback as well. There are several ways +to detect it being a trailer and not an ordinary header: 1) it comes after the +response-body. 2) it comes after the final header line (CR LF) 3) a Trailer: +header among the regular response-headers mention what header(s) to expect in +the trailer. + +For non-HTTP protocols like FTP, POP3, IMAP and SMTP this function will get +called with the server responses to the commands that libcurl sends. +.IP CURLOPT_WRITEHEADER +(This option is also known as \fBCURLOPT_HEADERDATA\fP) Pass a pointer to be +used to write the header part of the received data to. If you don't use +\fICURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION\fP or \fICURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION\fP to take care of +the writing, this must be a valid FILE * as the internal default will then be +a plain fwrite(). See also the \fICURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION\fP option above on +how to set a custom get-all-headers callback. +.IP CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION +Pass a pointer to a function that matches the following prototype: \fBint +curl_debug_callback (CURL *, curl_infotype, char *, size_t, void *);\fP +\fICURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION\fP replaces the standard debug function used when +\fICURLOPT_VERBOSE \fP is in effect. This callback receives debug information, +as specified with the \fBcurl_infotype\fP argument. This function must return +0. The data pointed to by the char * passed to this function WILL NOT be zero +terminated, but will be exactly of the size as told by the size_t argument. + +Available curl_infotype values: +.RS +.IP CURLINFO_TEXT +The data is informational text. +.IP CURLINFO_HEADER_IN +The data is header (or header-like) data received from the peer. +.IP CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT +The data is header (or header-like) data sent to the peer. +.IP CURLINFO_DATA_IN +The data is protocol data received from the peer. +.IP CURLINFO_DATA_OUT +The data is protocol data sent to the peer. +.RE +.IP CURLOPT_DEBUGDATA +Pass a pointer to whatever you want passed in to your +\fICURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION\fP in the last void * argument. This pointer is not +used by libcurl, it is only passed to the callback. +.IP CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION +This option does only function for libcurl powered by OpenSSL. If libcurl was +built against another SSL library, this functionality is absent. + +Pass a pointer to a function that matches the following prototype: +\fBCURLcode sslctxfun(CURL *curl, void *sslctx, void *parm);\fP This function +gets called by libcurl just before the initialization of a SSL connection +after having processed all other SSL related options to give a last chance to +an application to modify the behaviour of openssl's ssl initialization. The +\fIsslctx\fP parameter is actually a pointer to an openssl \fISSL_CTX\fP. If +an error is returned no attempt to establish a connection is made and the +perform operation will return the error code from this callback function. Set +the \fIparm\fP argument with the \fICURLOPT_SSL_CTX_DATA\fP option. This +option was introduced in 7.11.0. + +This function will get called on all new connections made to a server, during +the SSL negotiation. The SSL_CTX pointer will be a new one every time. + +To use this properly, a non-trivial amount of knowledge of the openssl +libraries is necessary. For example, using this function allows you to use +openssl callbacks to add additional validation code for certificates, and even +to change the actual URI of a HTTPS request (example used in the lib509 test +case). See also the example section for a replacement of the key, certificate +and trust file settings. +.IP CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_DATA +Data pointer to pass to the ssl context callback set by the option +\fICURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION\fP, this is the pointer you'll get as third +parameter, otherwise \fBNULL\fP. (Added in 7.11.0) +.IP CURLOPT_CONV_TO_NETWORK_FUNCTION +.IP CURLOPT_CONV_FROM_NETWORK_FUNCTION +.IP CURLOPT_CONV_FROM_UTF8_FUNCTION +Pass a pointer to a function that matches the following prototype: +\fBCURLcode function(char *ptr, size_t length);\fP + +These three options apply to non-ASCII platforms only. They are available +only if \fBCURL_DOES_CONVERSIONS\fP was defined when libcurl was built. When +this is the case, \fIcurl_version_info(3)\fP will return the CURL_VERSION_CONV +feature bit set. + +The data to be converted is in a buffer pointed to by the ptr parameter. The +amount of data to convert is indicated by the length parameter. The converted +data overlays the input data in the buffer pointed to by the ptr parameter. +CURLE_OK should be returned upon successful conversion. A CURLcode return +value defined by curl.h, such as CURLE_CONV_FAILED, should be returned if an +error was encountered. + +\fBCURLOPT_CONV_TO_NETWORK_FUNCTION\fP and +\fBCURLOPT_CONV_FROM_NETWORK_FUNCTION\fP convert between the host encoding and +the network encoding. They are used when commands or ASCII data are +sent/received over the network. + +\fBCURLOPT_CONV_FROM_UTF8_FUNCTION\fP is called to convert from UTF8 into the +host encoding. It is required only for SSL processing. + +If you set a callback pointer to NULL, or don't set it at all, the built-in +libcurl iconv functions will be used. If HAVE_ICONV was not defined when +libcurl was built, and no callback has been established, conversion will +return the CURLE_CONV_REQD error code. + +If HAVE_ICONV is defined, CURL_ICONV_CODESET_OF_HOST must also be defined. +For example: + + \&#define CURL_ICONV_CODESET_OF_HOST "IBM-1047" + +The iconv code in libcurl will default the network and UTF8 codeset names as +follows: + + \&#define CURL_ICONV_CODESET_OF_NETWORK "ISO8859-1" + + \&#define CURL_ICONV_CODESET_FOR_UTF8 "UTF-8" + +You will need to override these definitions if they are different on your +system. +.IP CURLOPT_INTERLEAVEFUNCTION +Pass a pointer to a function that matches the following prototype: +\fBsize_t function( void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void +*userdata)\fP. This function gets called by libcurl as soon as it has received +interleaved RTP data. This function gets called for each $ block and therefore +contains exactly one upper-layer protocol unit (e.g. one RTP packet). Curl +writes the interleaved header as well as the included data for each call. The +first byte is always an ASCII dollar sign. The dollar sign is followed by a +one byte channel identifier and then a 2 byte integer length in network byte +order. See \fIRFC2326 Section 10.12\fP for more information on how RTP +interleaving behaves. If unset or set to NULL, curl will use the default write +function. + +Interleaved RTP poses some challenges for the client application. Since the +stream data is sharing the RTSP control connection, it is critical to service +the RTP in a timely fashion. If the RTP data is not handled quickly, +subsequent response processing may become unreasonably delayed and the +connection may close. The application may use \fICURL_RTSPREQ_RECEIVE\fP to +service RTP data when no requests are desired. If the application makes a +request, (e.g. \fICURL_RTSPREQ_PAUSE\fP) then the response handler will +process any pending RTP data before marking the request as finished. (Added +in 7.20.0) +.IP CURLOPT_INTERLEAVEDATA +This is the userdata pointer that will be passed to +\fICURLOPT_INTERLEAVEFUNCTION\fP when interleaved RTP data is received. (Added +in 7.20.0) +.IP CURLOPT_CHUNK_BGN_FUNCTION +Pass a pointer to a function that matches the following prototype: +\fBlong function (const void *transfer_info, void *ptr, int remains)\fP. This +function gets called by libcurl before a part of the stream is going to be +transferred (if the transfer supports chunks). + +This callback makes sense only when using the \fICURLOPT_WILDCARDMATCH\fP +option for now. + +The target of transfer_info parameter is a "feature depended" structure. For +the FTP wildcard download, the target is curl_fileinfo structure (see +\fIcurl/curl.h\fP). The parameter ptr is a pointer given by +\fICURLOPT_CHUNK_DATA\fP. The parameter remains contains number of chunks +remaining per the transfer. If the feature is not available, the parameter has +zero value. + +Return \fICURL_CHUNK_BGN_FUNC_OK\fP if everything is fine, +\fICURL_CHUNK_BGN_FUNC_SKIP\fP if you want to skip the concrete chunk or +\fICURL_CHUNK_BGN_FUNC_FAIL\fP to tell libcurl to stop if some error occurred. +(This was added in 7.21.0) +.IP CURLOPT_CHUNK_END_FUNCTION +Pass a pointer to a function that matches the following prototype: +\fBlong function(void *ptr)\fP. This function gets called by libcurl as soon +as a part of the stream has been transferred (or skipped). + +Return \fICURL_CHUNK_END_FUNC_OK\fP if everything is fine or +\fBCURL_CHUNK_END_FUNC_FAIL\fP to tell the lib to stop if some error occurred. +(This was added in 7.21.0) +.IP CURLOPT_CHUNK_DATA +Pass a pointer that will be untouched by libcurl and passed as the ptr +argument to the \fICURL_CHUNK_BGN_FUNTION\fP and \fICURL_CHUNK_END_FUNTION\fP. +(This was added in 7.21.0) +.IP CURLOPT_FNMATCH_FUNCTION +Pass a pointer to a function that matches the following prototype: \fBint +function(void *ptr, const char *pattern, const char *string)\fP prototype (see +\fIcurl/curl.h\fP). It is used internally for the wildcard matching feature. + +Return \fICURL_FNMATCHFUNC_MATCH\fP if pattern matches the string, +\fICURL_FNMATCHFUNC_NOMATCH\fP if not or \fICURL_FNMATCHFUNC_FAIL\fP if an +error occurred. (This was added in 7.21.0) +.IP CURLOPT_FNMATCH_DATA +Pass a pointer that will be untouched by libcurl and passed as the ptr argument +to the \fICURL_FNMATCH_FUNCTION\fP. (This was added in 7.21.0) +.SH ERROR OPTIONS +.IP CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER +Pass a char * to a buffer that the libcurl may store human readable error +messages in. This may be more helpful than just the return code from +\fIcurl_easy_perform\fP. The buffer must be at least CURL_ERROR_SIZE big. +Although this argument is a 'char *', it does not describe an input string. +Therefore the (probably undefined) contents of the buffer is NOT copied by the +library. You must keep the associated storage available until libcurl no +longer needs it. Failing to do so will cause very odd behavior or even +crashes. libcurl will need it until you call \fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP or you +set the same option again to use a different pointer. + +Use \fICURLOPT_VERBOSE\fP and \fICURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION\fP to better +debug/trace why errors happen. + +If the library does not return an error, the buffer may not have been +touched. Do not rely on the contents in those cases. + +.IP CURLOPT_STDERR +Pass a FILE * as parameter. Tell libcurl to use this stream instead of stderr +when showing the progress meter and displaying \fICURLOPT_VERBOSE\fP data. +.IP CURLOPT_FAILONERROR +A parameter set to 1 tells the library to fail silently if the HTTP code +returned is equal to or larger than 400. The default action would be to return +the page normally, ignoring that code. + +This method is not fail-safe and there are occasions where non-successful +response codes will slip through, especially when authentication is involved +(response codes 401 and 407). + +You might get some amounts of headers transferred before this situation is +detected, like when a "100-continue" is received as a response to a +POST/PUT and a 401 or 407 is received immediately afterwards. +.SH NETWORK OPTIONS +.IP CURLOPT_URL +Pass in a pointer to the actual URL to deal with. The parameter should be a +char * to a zero terminated string which must be URL-encoded in the following +format: + +scheme://host:port/path + +For a greater explanation of the format please see RFC3986. + +If the given URL lacks the scheme, or protocol, part ("http://" or "ftp://" +etc), libcurl will attempt to resolve which protocol to use based on the +given host mame. If the protocol is not supported, libcurl will return +(\fICURLE_UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL\fP) when you call \fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP +or \fIcurl_multi_perform(3)\fP. Use \fIcurl_version_info(3)\fP for detailed +information on which protocols are supported. + +The host part of the URL contains the address of the server that you want to +connect to. This can be the fully qualified domain name of the server, the +local network name of the machine on your network or the IP address of the +server or machine represented by either an IPv4 or IPv6 address. For example: + +http://www.example.com/ + +http://hostname/ + +http://192.168.0.1/ + +http://[2001:1890:1112:1::20]/ + +It is also possible to specify the user name and password as part of the +host, for some protocols, when connecting to servers that require +authentication. + +For example the following types of authentication support this: + +http://user:password@www.example.com + +ftp://user:password@ftp.example.com + +pop3://user:password@mail.example.com + +The port is optional and when not specified libcurl will use the default port +based on the determined or specified protocol: 80 for HTTP, 21 for FTP and 25 +for SMTP, etc. The following examples show how to specify the port: + +http://www.example.com:8080/ - This will connect to a web server using port +8080 rather than 80. + +smtp://mail.example.com:587/ - This will connect to a SMTP server on the +alternative mail port. + +The path part of the URL is protocol specific and whilst some examples are +given below this list is not conclusive: + +.B HTTP + +The path part of a HTTP request specifies the file to retrieve and from what +directory. If the directory is not specified then the web server's root +directory is used. If the file is omitted then the default document will be +retrieved for either the directory specified or the root directory. The +exact resource returned for each URL is entirely dependent on the server's +configuration. + +http://www.example.com - This gets the main page from the web server. + +http://www.example.com/index.html - This returns the main page by explicitly +requesting it. + +http://www.example.com/contactus/ - This returns the default document from +the contactus directory. + +.B FTP + +The path part of an FTP request specifies the file to retrieve and from what +directory. If the file part is omitted then libcurl downloads the directory +listing for the directory specified. If the directory is omitted then +the directory listing for the root / home directory will be returned. + +ftp://ftp.example.com - This retrieves the directory listing for the root +directory. + +ftp://ftp.example.com/readme.txt - This downloads the file readme.txt from the +root directory. + +ftp://ftp.example.com/libcurl/readme.txt - This downloads readme.txt from the +libcurl directory. + +ftp://user:password@ftp.example.com/readme.txt - This retrieves the readme.txt +file from the user's home directory. When a username and password is +specified, everything that is specified in the path part is relative to the +user's home directory. To retrieve files from the root directory or a +directory underneath the root directory then the absolute path must be +specified by prepending an additional forward slash to the beginning of the +path. + +ftp://user:password@ftp.example.com//readme.txt - This retrieves the readme.txt +from the root directory when logging in as a specified user. + +.B SMTP + +The path part of a SMTP request specifies the host name to present during +communication with the mail server. If the path is omitted then libcurl will +attempt to resolve the local computer's host name. However, this may not +return the fully qualified domain name that is required by some mail servers +and specifying this path allows you to set an alternative name, such as +your machine's fully qualified domain name, which you might have obtained +from an external function such as gethostname or getaddrinfo. + +smtp://mail.example.com - This connects to the mail server at example.com and +sends your local computer's host name in the HELO / EHLO command. + +smtp://mail.example.com/client.example.com - This will send client.example.com in +the HELO / EHLO command to the mail server at example.com. + +.B POP3 + +The path part of a POP3 request specifies the mailbox (message) to retrieve. +If the mailbox is not specified then a list of waiting messages is returned +instead. + +pop3://user:password@mail.example.com - This lists the available messages +pop3://user:password@mail.example.com/1 - This retrieves the first message + +.B SCP + +The path part of a SCP request specifies the file to retrieve and from what +directory. The file part may not be omitted. The file is taken as an absolute +path from the root directory on the server. To specify a path relative to +the user's home directory on the server, prepend ~/ to the path portion. +If the user name is not embedded in the URL, it can be set with the +\fICURLOPT_USERPWD\fP or \fBCURLOPT_USERNAME\fP option. + +scp://user@example.com/etc/issue - This specifies the file /etc/issue + +scp://example.com/~/my-file - This specifies the file my-file in the +user's home directory on the server + +.B SFTP + +The path part of a SFTP request specifies the file to retrieve and from what +directory. If the file part is omitted then libcurl downloads the directory +listing for the directory specified. If the path ends in a / then a directory +listing is returned instead of a file. If the path is omitted entirely then +the directory listing for the root / home directory will be returned. +If the user name is not embedded in the URL, it can be set with the +\fICURLOPT_USERPWD\fP or \fBCURLOPT_USERNAME\fP option. + +sftp://user:password@example.com/etc/issue - This specifies the file +/etc/issue + +sftp://user@example.com/~/my-file - This specifies the file my-file in the +user's home directory + +sftp://ssh.example.com/~/Documents/ - This requests a directory listing +of the Documents directory under the user's home directory + +.B LDAP + +The path part of a LDAP request can be used to specify the: Distinguished +Name, Attributes, Scope, Filter and Extension for a LDAP search. Each field +is separated by a question mark and when that field is not required an empty +string with the question mark separator should be included. + +ldap://ldap.example.com/o=My%20Organisation - This will perform a LDAP search +with the DN as My Organisation. + +ldap://ldap.example.com/o=My%20Organisation?postalAddress - This will perform +the same search but will only return postalAddress attributes. + +ldap://ldap.example.com/?rootDomainNamingContext - This specifies an empty DN +and requests information about the rootDomainNamingContext attribute for an +Active Directory server. + +For more information about the individual components of a LDAP URL please +see RFC4516. + +.B NOTES + +Starting with version 7.20.0, the fragment part of the URI will not be sent as +part of the path, which was previously the case. + +\fICURLOPT_URL\fP is the only option that \fBmust\fP be set before +\fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP is called. + +\fICURLOPT_PROTOCOLS\fP can be used to limit what protocols libcurl will use +for this transfer, independent of what libcurl has been compiled to +support. That may be useful if you accept the URL from an external source and +want to limit the accessibility. +.IP CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS +Pass a long that holds a bitmask of CURLPROTO_* defines. If used, this bitmask +limits what protocols libcurl may use in the transfer. This allows you to have +a libcurl built to support a wide range of protocols but still limit specific +transfers to only be allowed to use a subset of them. By default libcurl will +accept all protocols it supports. See also +\fICURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS\fP. (Added in 7.19.4) +.IP CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS +Pass a long that holds a bitmask of CURLPROTO_* defines. If used, this bitmask +limits what protocols libcurl may use in a transfer that it follows to in a +redirect when \fICURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION\fP is enabled. This allows you to +limit specific transfers to only be allowed to use a subset of protocols in +redirections. By default libcurl will allow all protocols except for FILE and +SCP. This is a difference compared to pre-7.19.4 versions which +unconditionally would follow to all protocols supported. (Added in 7.19.4) +.IP CURLOPT_PROXY +Set HTTP proxy to use. The parameter should be a char * to a zero terminated +string holding the host name or dotted IP address. To specify port number in +this string, append :[port] to the end of the host name. The proxy string may +be prefixed with [protocol]:// since any such prefix will be ignored. The +proxy's port number may optionally be specified with the separate option. If +not specified, libcurl will default to using port 1080 for proxies. +\fICURLOPT_PROXYPORT\fP. + +When you tell the library to use a HTTP proxy, libcurl will transparently +convert operations to HTTP even if you specify an FTP URL etc. This may have +an impact on what other features of the library you can use, such as +\fICURLOPT_QUOTE\fP and similar FTP specifics that don't work unless you +tunnel through the HTTP proxy. Such tunneling is activated with +\fICURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL\fP. + +libcurl respects the environment variables \fBhttp_proxy\fP, \fBftp_proxy\fP, +\fBall_proxy\fP etc, if any of those are set. The \fICURLOPT_PROXY\fP option +does however override any possibly set environment variables. + +Setting the proxy string to "" (an empty string) will explicitly disable the +use of a proxy, even if there is an environment variable set for it. + +Since 7.14.1, the proxy host string given in environment variables can be +specified the exact same way as the proxy can be set with \fICURLOPT_PROXY\fP, +include protocol prefix (http://) and embedded user + password. + +Since 7.21.7, the proxy string may be specified with a protocol:// prefix to +specify alternative proxy protocols. Use socks4://, socks4a://, socks5:// or +socks5h:// (the last one to enable socks5 and asking the proxy to do the +resolving, also known as CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME type) to request the +specific SOCKS version to be used. No protocol specified, http:// and all +others will be treated as HTTP proxies. +.IP CURLOPT_PROXYPORT +Pass a long with this option to set the proxy port to connect to unless it is +specified in the proxy string \fICURLOPT_PROXY\fP. +.IP CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE +Pass a long with this option to set type of the proxy. Available options for +this are \fICURLPROXY_HTTP\fP, \fICURLPROXY_HTTP_1_0\fP (added in 7.19.4), +\fICURLPROXY_SOCKS4\fP (added in 7.10), \fICURLPROXY_SOCKS5\fP, +\fICURLPROXY_SOCKS4A\fP (added in 7.18.0) and \fICURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME\fP +(added in 7.18.0). The HTTP type is default. (Added in 7.10) + +If you set \fBCURLOPT_PROXYTYPE\fP to \fICURLPROXY_HTTP_1_0\fP, it will only +affect how libcurl speaks to a proxy when CONNECT is used. The HTTP version +used for "regular" HTTP requests is instead controlled with +\fICURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION\fP. +.IP CURLOPT_NOPROXY +Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string. The string consists of a comma +separated list of host names that do not require a proxy to get reached, even +if one is specified. The only wildcard available is a single * character, +which matches all hosts, and effectively disables the proxy. Each name in this +list is matched as either a domain which contains the hostname, or the +hostname itself. For example, example.com would match example.com, +example.com:80, and www.example.com, but not www.notanexample.com. (Added in +7.19.4) +.IP CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL +Set the parameter to 1 to make the library tunnel all operations through a +given HTTP proxy. There is a big difference between using a proxy and to +tunnel through it. If you don't know what this means, you probably don't want +this tunneling option. +.IP CURLOPT_SOCKS5_GSSAPI_SERVICE +Pass a char * as parameter to a string holding the name of the service. The +default service name for a SOCKS5 server is rcmd/server-fqdn. This option +allows you to change it. (Added in 7.19.4) +.IP CURLOPT_SOCKS5_GSSAPI_NEC +Pass a long set to 1 to enable or 0 to disable. As part of the gssapi +negotiation a protection mode is negotiated. The RFC1961 says in section +4.3/4.4 it should be protected, but the NEC reference implementation does not. +If enabled, this option allows the unprotected exchange of the protection mode +negotiation. (Added in 7.19.4). +.IP CURLOPT_INTERFACE +Pass a char * as parameter. This sets the interface name to use as outgoing +network interface. The name can be an interface name, an IP address, or a host +name. + +Starting with 7.24.0: If the parameter starts with "if!" then it is treated as +only as interface name and no attempt will ever be named to do treat it as an +IP address or to do name resolution on it. If the parameter starts with +\&"host!" it is treated as either an IP address or a hostname. Hostnames are +resolved synchronously. Using the if! format is highly recommended when using +the multi interfaces to avoid allowing the code to block. If "if!" is +specified but the parameter does not match an existing interface, +CURLE_INTERFACE_FAILED is returned. +.IP CURLOPT_LOCALPORT +Pass a long. This sets the local port number of the socket used for +connection. This can be used in combination with \fICURLOPT_INTERFACE\fP and +you are recommended to use \fICURLOPT_LOCALPORTRANGE\fP as well when this is +set. Valid port numbers are 1 - 65535. (Added in 7.15.2) +.IP CURLOPT_LOCALPORTRANGE +Pass a long. This is the number of attempts libcurl will make to find a +working local port number. It starts with the given \fICURLOPT_LOCALPORT\fP +and adds one to the number for each retry. Setting this to 1 or below will +make libcurl do only one try for the exact port number. Port numbers by nature +are scarce resources that will be busy at times so setting this value to +something too low might cause unnecessary connection setup failures. (Added in +7.15.2) +.IP CURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT +Pass a long, this sets the timeout in seconds. Name resolves will be kept in +memory for this number of seconds. Set to zero to completely disable +caching, or set to -1 to make the cached entries remain forever. By default, +libcurl caches this info for 60 seconds. + +The name resolve functions of various libc implementations don't re-read name +server information unless explicitly told so (for example, by calling +\fIres_init(3)\fP). This may cause libcurl to keep using the older server even +if DHCP has updated the server info, and this may look like a DNS cache issue +to the casual libcurl-app user. +.IP CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE +Pass a long. If the value is 1, it tells curl to use a global DNS cache +that will survive between easy handle creations and deletions. This is not +thread-safe and this will use a global variable. + +\fBWARNING:\fP this option is considered obsolete. Stop using it. Switch over +to using the share interface instead! See \fICURLOPT_SHARE\fP and +\fIcurl_share_init(3)\fP. +.IP CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE +Pass a long specifying your preferred size (in bytes) for the receive buffer +in libcurl. The main point of this would be that the write callback gets +called more often and with smaller chunks. This is just treated as a request, +not an order. You cannot be guaranteed to actually get the given size. (Added +in 7.10) + +This size is by default set as big as possible (CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE), so it +only makes sense to use this option if you want it smaller. +.IP CURLOPT_PORT +Pass a long specifying what remote port number to connect to, instead of the +one specified in the URL or the default port for the used protocol. +.IP CURLOPT_TCP_NODELAY +Pass a long specifying whether the TCP_NODELAY option is to be set or cleared +(1 = set, 0 = clear). The option is cleared by default. This will have no +effect after the connection has been established. + +Setting this option will disable TCP's Nagle algorithm. The purpose of this +algorithm is to try to minimize the number of small packets on the network +(where "small packets" means TCP segments less than the Maximum Segment Size +(MSS) for the network). + +Maximizing the amount of data sent per TCP segment is good because it +amortizes the overhead of the send. However, in some cases (most notably +telnet or rlogin) small segments may need to be sent without delay. This is +less efficient than sending larger amounts of data at a time, and can +contribute to congestion on the network if overdone. +.IP CURLOPT_ADDRESS_SCOPE +Pass a long specifying the scope_id value to use when connecting to IPv6 +link-local or site-local addresses. (Added in 7.19.0) +.IP CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE +Pass a long. If set to 1, TCP keepalive probes will be sent. The delay and +frequency of these probes can be controlled by the \fICURLOPT_TCP_KEEPIDLE\fP +and \fICURLOPT_TCP_KEEPINTVL\fP options, provided the operating system supports +them. Set to 0 (default behavior) to disable keepalive probes (Added in +7.25.0). +.IP CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPIDLE +Pass a long. Sets the delay, in seconds, that the operating system will wait +while the connection is idle before sending keepalive probes. Not all operating +systems support this option. (Added in 7.25.0) +.IP CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPINTVL +Pass a long. Sets the interval, in seconds, that the operating system will wait +between sending keepalive probes. Not all operating systems support this +option. (Added in 7.25.0) +.SH NAMES and PASSWORDS OPTIONS (Authentication) +.IP CURLOPT_NETRC +This parameter controls the preference of libcurl between using user names and +passwords from your \fI~/.netrc\fP file, relative to user names and passwords +in the URL supplied with \fICURLOPT_URL\fP. + +libcurl uses a user name (and supplied or prompted password) supplied with +\fICURLOPT_USERPWD\fP in preference to any of the options controlled by this +parameter. + +Pass a long, set to one of the values described below. +.RS +.IP CURL_NETRC_OPTIONAL +The use of your \fI~/.netrc\fP file is optional, and information in the URL is +to be preferred. The file will be scanned for the host and user name (to +find the password only) or for the host only, to find the first user name and +password after that \fImachine\fP, which ever information is not specified in +the URL. + +Undefined values of the option will have this effect. +.IP CURL_NETRC_IGNORED +The library will ignore the file and use only the information in the URL. + +This is the default. +.IP CURL_NETRC_REQUIRED +This value tells the library that use of the file is required, to ignore the +information in the URL, and to search the file for the host only. +.RE +Only machine name, user name and password are taken into account +(init macros and similar things aren't supported). + +libcurl does not verify that the file has the correct properties set (as the +standard Unix ftp client does). It should only be readable by user. +.IP CURLOPT_NETRC_FILE +Pass a char * as parameter, pointing to a zero terminated string containing +the full path name to the file you want libcurl to use as .netrc file. If this +option is omitted, and \fICURLOPT_NETRC\fP is set, libcurl will attempt to +find a .netrc file in the current user's home directory. (Added in 7.10.9) +.IP CURLOPT_USERPWD +Pass a char * as parameter, which should be [user name]:[password] to use for +the connection. Use \fICURLOPT_HTTPAUTH\fP to decide the authentication method. + +When using NTLM, you can set the domain by prepending it to the user name and +separating the domain and name with a forward (/) or backward slash (\\). Like +this: "domain/user:password" or "domain\\user:password". Some HTTP servers (on +Windows) support this style even for Basic authentication. + +When using HTTP and \fICURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION\fP, libcurl might perform +several requests to possibly different hosts. libcurl will only send this user +and password information to hosts using the initial host name (unless +\fICURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH\fP is set), so if libcurl follows locations to +other hosts it will not send the user and password to those. This is enforced +to prevent accidental information leakage. +.IP CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD +Pass a char * as parameter, which should be [user name]:[password] to use for +the connection to the HTTP proxy. Use \fICURLOPT_PROXYAUTH\fP to decide +the authentication method. +.IP CURLOPT_USERNAME +Pass a char * as parameter, which should be pointing to the zero terminated +user name to use for the transfer. + +\fBCURLOPT_USERNAME\fP sets the user name to be used in protocol +authentication. You should not use this option together with the (older) +CURLOPT_USERPWD option. + +In order to specify the password to be used in conjunction with the user name +use the \fICURLOPT_PASSWORD\fP option. (Added in 7.19.1) +.IP CURLOPT_PASSWORD +Pass a char * as parameter, which should be pointing to the zero terminated +password to use for the transfer. + +The CURLOPT_PASSWORD option should be used in conjunction with +the \fICURLOPT_USERNAME\fP option. (Added in 7.19.1) +.IP CURLOPT_PROXYUSERNAME +Pass a char * as parameter, which should be pointing to the zero terminated +user name to use for the transfer while connecting to Proxy. + +The CURLOPT_PROXYUSERNAME option should be used in same way as the +\fICURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD\fP is used. In comparison to +\fICURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD\fP the CURLOPT_PROXYUSERNAME allows the username to +contain a colon, like in the following example: "sip:user@example.com". The +CURLOPT_PROXYUSERNAME option is an alternative way to set the user name while +connecting to Proxy. There is no meaning to use it together with the +\fICURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD\fP option. + +In order to specify the password to be used in conjunction with the user name +use the \fICURLOPT_PROXYPASSWORD\fP option. (Added in 7.19.1) +.IP CURLOPT_PROXYPASSWORD +Pass a char * as parameter, which should be pointing to the zero terminated +password to use for the transfer while connecting to Proxy. + +The CURLOPT_PROXYPASSWORD option should be used in conjunction with +the \fICURLOPT_PROXYUSERNAME\fP option. (Added in 7.19.1) +.IP CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH +Pass a long as parameter, which is set to a bitmask, to tell libcurl which +authentication method(s) you want it to use. The available bits are listed +below. If more than one bit is set, libcurl will first query the site to see +which authentication methods it supports and then pick the best one you allow +it to use. For some methods, this will induce an extra network round-trip. Set +the actual name and password with the \fICURLOPT_USERPWD\fP option or +with the \fICURLOPT_USERNAME\fP and the \fICURLOPT_PASSWORD\fP options. +(Added in 7.10.6) +.RS +.IP CURLAUTH_BASIC +HTTP Basic authentication. This is the default choice, and the only method +that is in wide-spread use and supported virtually everywhere. This sends +the user name and password over the network in plain text, easily captured by +others. +.IP CURLAUTH_DIGEST +HTTP Digest authentication. Digest authentication is defined in RFC2617 and +is a more secure way to do authentication over public networks than the +regular old-fashioned Basic method. +.IP CURLAUTH_DIGEST_IE +HTTP Digest authentication with an IE flavor. Digest authentication is +defined in RFC2617 and is a more secure way to do authentication over public +networks than the regular old-fashioned Basic method. The IE flavor is simply +that libcurl will use a special "quirk" that IE is known to have used before +version 7 and that some servers require the client to use. (This define was +added in 7.19.3) +.IP CURLAUTH_GSSNEGOTIATE +HTTP GSS-Negotiate authentication. The GSS-Negotiate (also known as plain +\&"Negotiate") method was designed by Microsoft and is used in their web +applications. It is primarily meant as a support for Kerberos5 authentication +but may also be used along with other authentication methods. For more +information see IETF draft draft-brezak-spnego-http-04.txt. + +You need to build libcurl with a suitable GSS-API library for this to work. +.IP CURLAUTH_NTLM +HTTP NTLM authentication. A proprietary protocol invented and used by +Microsoft. It uses a challenge-response and hash concept similar to Digest, to +prevent the password from being eavesdropped. + +You need to build libcurl with either OpenSSL, GnuTLS or NSS support for this +option to work, or build libcurl on Windows. +.IP CURLAUTH_NTLM_WB +NTLM delegating to winbind helper. Authentication is performed by a separate +binary application that is executed when needed. The name of the application +is specified at compile time but is typically /usr/bin/ntlm_auth +(Added in 7.22.0) + +Note that libcurl will fork when necessary to run the winbind application and +kill it when complete, calling waitpid() to await its exit when done. On POSIX +operating systems, killing the process will cause a SIGCHLD signal to be +raised (regardless of whether \fICURLOPT_NOSIGNAL\fP is set), which must be +handled intelligently by the application. In particular, the application must +not unconditionally call wait() in its SIGCHLD signal handler to avoid being +subject to a race condition. This behavior is subject to change in future +versions of libcurl. +.IP CURLAUTH_ANY +This is a convenience macro that sets all bits and thus makes libcurl pick any +it finds suitable. libcurl will automatically select the one it finds most +secure. +.IP CURLAUTH_ANYSAFE +This is a convenience macro that sets all bits except Basic and thus makes +libcurl pick any it finds suitable. libcurl will automatically select the one +it finds most secure. +.IP CURLAUTH_ONLY +This is a meta symbol. Or this value together with a single specific auth +value to force libcurl to probe for un-restricted auth and if not, only that +single auth algorithm is acceptable. (Added in 7.21.3) +.RE +.IP CURLOPT_TLSAUTH_TYPE +Pass a long as parameter, which is set to a bitmask, to tell libcurl which +authentication method(s) you want it to use for TLS authentication. +.RS +.IP CURLOPT_TLSAUTH_SRP +TLS-SRP authentication. Secure Remote Password authentication for TLS is +defined in RFC5054 and provides mutual authentication if both sides have a +shared secret. To use TLS-SRP, you must also set the +\fICURLOPT_TLSAUTH_USERNAME\fP and \fICURLOPT_TLSAUTH_PASSWORD\fP options. + +You need to build libcurl with GnuTLS or OpenSSL with TLS-SRP support for this +to work. (Added in 7.21.4) +.RE +.IP CURLOPT_TLSAUTH_USERNAME +Pass a char * as parameter, which should point to the zero terminated username +to use for the TLS authentication method specified with the +\fICURLOPT_TLSAUTH_TYPE\fP option. Requires that the +\fICURLOPT_TLS_PASSWORD\fP option also be set. (Added in 7.21.4) +.IP CURLOPT_TLSAUTH_PASSWORD +Pass a char * as parameter, which should point to the zero terminated password +to use for the TLS authentication method specified with the +\fICURLOPT_TLSAUTH_TYPE\fP option. Requires that the +\fICURLOPT_TLS_USERNAME\fP option also be set. (Added in 7.21.4) +.IP CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH +Pass a long as parameter, which is set to a bitmask, to tell libcurl which +authentication method(s) you want it to use for your proxy authentication. If +more than one bit is set, libcurl will first query the site to see what +authentication methods it supports and then pick the best one you allow it to +use. For some methods, this will induce an extra network round-trip. Set the +actual name and password with the \fICURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD\fP option. The +bitmask can be constructed by or'ing together the bits listed above for the +\fICURLOPT_HTTPAUTH\fP option. As of this writing, only Basic, Digest and NTLM +work. (Added in 7.10.7) +.SH HTTP OPTIONS +.IP CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER +Pass a parameter set to 1 to enable this. When enabled, libcurl will +automatically set the Referer: field in requests where it follows a Location: +redirect. +.IP CURLOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING +Sets the contents of the Accept-Encoding: header sent in a HTTP request, and +enables decoding of a response when a Content-Encoding: header is received. +Three encodings are supported: \fIidentity\fP, which does nothing, +\fIdeflate\fP which requests the server to compress its response using the +zlib algorithm, and \fIgzip\fP which requests the gzip algorithm. If a +zero-length string is set, then an Accept-Encoding: header containing all +supported encodings is sent. + +This is a request, not an order; the server may or may not do it. This option +must be set (to any non-NULL value) or else any unsolicited encoding done by +the server is ignored. See the special file lib/README.encoding for details. + +(This option was called CURLOPT_ENCODING before 7.21.6) +.IP CURLOPT_TRANSFER_ENCODING +Adds a request for compressed Transfer Encoding in the outgoing HTTP +request. If the server supports this and so desires, it can respond with the +HTTP response sent using a compressed Transfer-Encoding that will be +automatically uncompressed by libcurl on reception. + +Transfer-Encoding differs slightly from the Content-Encoding you ask for with +\fBCURLOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING\fP in that a Transfer-Encoding is strictly meant to +be for the transfer and thus MUST be decoded before the data arrives in the +client. Traditionally, Transfer-Encoding has been much less used and supported +by both HTTP clients and HTTP servers. + +(Added in 7.21.6) +.IP CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION +A parameter set to 1 tells the library to follow any Location: header that the +server sends as part of a HTTP header. + +This means that the library will re-send the same request on the new location +and follow new Location: headers all the way until no more such headers are +returned. \fICURLOPT_MAXREDIRS\fP can be used to limit the number of redirects +libcurl will follow. + +Since 7.19.4, libcurl can limit what protocols it will automatically +follow. The accepted protocols are set with \fICURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS\fP and +it excludes the FILE protocol by default. +.IP CURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH +A parameter set to 1 tells the library it can continue to send authentication +(user+password) when following locations, even when hostname changed. This +option is meaningful only when setting \fICURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION\fP. +.IP CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS +Pass a long. The set number will be the redirection limit. If that many +redirections have been followed, the next redirect will cause an error +(\fICURLE_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS\fP). This option only makes sense if the +\fICURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION\fP is used at the same time. Added in 7.15.1: +Setting the limit to 0 will make libcurl refuse any redirect. Set it to -1 for +an infinite number of redirects (which is the default) +.IP CURLOPT_POSTREDIR +Pass a bitmask to control how libcurl acts on redirects after POSTs that get a +301, 302 or 303 response back. A parameter with bit 0 set (value +\fBCURL_REDIR_POST_301\fP) tells the library to respect RFC2616/10.3.2 and not +convert POST requests into GET requests when following a 301 redirection. +Setting bit 1 (value \fBCURL_REDIR_POST_302\fP) makes libcurl maintain the +request method after a 302 redirect whilst setting bit 2 (value +\fBCURL_REDIR_POST_303\fP) makes libcurl maintain the request method after a +303 redirect. The value \fBCURL_REDIR_POST_ALL\fP is a convenience define that +sets all three bits. + +The non-RFC behaviour is ubiquitous in web browsers, so the library does the +conversion by default to maintain consistency. However, a server may require a +POST to remain a POST after such a redirection. This option is meaningful only +when setting \fICURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION\fP. (Added in 7.17.1) (This option was +known as CURLOPT_POST301 up to 7.19.0 as it only supported the 301 then) +.IP CURLOPT_PUT +A parameter set to 1 tells the library to use HTTP PUT to transfer data. The +data should be set with \fICURLOPT_READDATA\fP and \fICURLOPT_INFILESIZE\fP. + +This option is deprecated and starting with version 7.12.1 you should instead +use \fICURLOPT_UPLOAD\fP. +.IP CURLOPT_POST +A parameter set to 1 tells the library to do a regular HTTP post. This will +also make the library use a "Content-Type: +application/x-www-form-urlencoded" header. (This is by far the most commonly +used POST method). + +Use one of \fICURLOPT_POSTFIELDS\fP or \fICURLOPT_COPYPOSTFIELDS\fP options to +specify what data to post and \fICURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE\fP or +\fICURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE_LARGE\fP to set the data size. + +Optionally, you can provide data to POST using the \fICURLOPT_READFUNCTION\fP +and \fICURLOPT_READDATA\fP options but then you must make sure to not set +\fICURLOPT_POSTFIELDS\fP to anything but NULL. When providing data with a +callback, you must transmit it using chunked transfer-encoding or you must set +the size of the data with the \fICURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE\fP or +\fICURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE_LARGE\fP option. To enable chunked encoding, you +simply pass in the appropriate Transfer-Encoding header, see the +post-callback.c example. + +You can override the default POST Content-Type: header by setting your own +with \fICURLOPT_HTTPHEADER\fP. + +Using POST with HTTP 1.1 implies the use of a "Expect: 100-continue" header. +You can disable this header with \fICURLOPT_HTTPHEADER\fP as usual. + +If you use POST to a HTTP 1.1 server, you can send data without knowing the +size before starting the POST if you use chunked encoding. You enable this by +adding a header like "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" with +\fICURLOPT_HTTPHEADER\fP. With HTTP 1.0 or without chunked transfer, you must +specify the size in the request. + +When setting \fICURLOPT_POST\fP to 1, it will automatically set +\fICURLOPT_NOBODY\fP to 0 (since 7.14.1). + +If you issue a POST request and then want to make a HEAD or GET using the same +re-used handle, you must explicitly set the new request type using +\fICURLOPT_NOBODY\fP or \fICURLOPT_HTTPGET\fP or similar. +.IP CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS +Pass a void * as parameter, which should be the full data to post in a HTTP +POST operation. You must make sure that the data is formatted the way you want +the server to receive it. libcurl will not convert or encode it for you. Most +web servers will assume this data to be url-encoded. + +The pointed data are NOT copied by the library: as a consequence, they must +be preserved by the calling application until the transfer finishes. + +This POST is a normal application/x-www-form-urlencoded kind (and libcurl will +set that Content-Type by default when this option is used), which is the most +commonly used one by HTML forms. See also the \fICURLOPT_POST\fP. Using +\fICURLOPT_POSTFIELDS\fP implies \fICURLOPT_POST\fP. + +If you want to do a zero-byte POST, you need to set +\fICURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE\fP explicitly to zero, as simply setting +\fICURLOPT_POSTFIELDS\fP to NULL or "" just effectively disables the sending +of the specified string. libcurl will instead assume that you'll send the POST +data using the read callback! + +Using POST with HTTP 1.1 implies the use of a "Expect: 100-continue" header. +You can disable this header with \fICURLOPT_HTTPHEADER\fP as usual. + +To make multipart/formdata posts (aka RFC2388-posts), check out the +\fICURLOPT_HTTPPOST\fP option. +.IP CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE +If you want to post data to the server without letting libcurl do a strlen() +to measure the data size, this option must be used. When this option is used +you can post fully binary data, which otherwise is likely to fail. If this +size is set to -1, the library will use strlen() to get the size. +.IP CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE_LARGE +Pass a curl_off_t as parameter. Use this to set the size of the +\fICURLOPT_POSTFIELDS\fP data to prevent libcurl from doing strlen() on the +data to figure out the size. This is the large file version of the +\fICURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE\fP option. (Added in 7.11.1) +.IP CURLOPT_COPYPOSTFIELDS +Pass a char * as parameter, which should be the full data to post in a HTTP +POST operation. It behaves as the \fICURLOPT_POSTFIELDS\fP option, but the +original data are copied by the library, allowing the application to overwrite +the original data after setting this option. + +Because data are copied, care must be taken when using this option in +conjunction with \fICURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE\fP or +\fICURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE_LARGE\fP: If the size has not been set prior to +\fICURLOPT_COPYPOSTFIELDS\fP, the data are assumed to be a NUL-terminated +string; else the stored size informs the library about the data byte count to +copy. In any case, the size must not be changed after +\fICURLOPT_COPYPOSTFIELDS\fP, unless another \fICURLOPT_POSTFIELDS\fP or +\fICURLOPT_COPYPOSTFIELDS\fP option is issued. +(Added in 7.17.1) +.IP CURLOPT_HTTPPOST +Tells libcurl you want a multipart/formdata HTTP POST to be made and you +instruct what data to pass on to the server. Pass a pointer to a linked list +of curl_httppost structs as parameter. The easiest way to create such a +list, is to use \fIcurl_formadd(3)\fP as documented. The data in this list +must remain intact until you close this curl handle again with +\fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP. + +Using POST with HTTP 1.1 implies the use of a "Expect: 100-continue" header. +You can disable this header with \fICURLOPT_HTTPHEADER\fP as usual. + +When setting \fICURLOPT_HTTPPOST\fP, it will automatically set +\fICURLOPT_NOBODY\fP to 0 (since 7.14.1). +.IP CURLOPT_REFERER +Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. It will be used to +set the Referer: header in the http request sent to the remote server. This +can be used to fool servers or scripts. You can also set any custom header +with \fICURLOPT_HTTPHEADER\fP. +.IP CURLOPT_USERAGENT +Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. It will be used to +set the User-Agent: header in the http request sent to the remote server. This +can be used to fool servers or scripts. You can also set any custom header +with \fICURLOPT_HTTPHEADER\fP. +.IP CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER +Pass a pointer to a linked list of HTTP headers to pass to the server in your +HTTP request. The linked list should be a fully valid list of \fBstruct +curl_slist\fP structs properly filled in. Use \fIcurl_slist_append(3)\fP to +create the list and \fIcurl_slist_free_all(3)\fP to clean up an entire +list. If you add a header that is otherwise generated and used by libcurl +internally, your added one will be used instead. If you add a header with no +content as in 'Accept:' (no data on the right side of the colon), the +internally used header will get disabled. Thus, using this option you can add +new headers, replace internal headers and remove internal headers. To add a +header with no content, make the content be two quotes: \&"". The headers +included in the linked list must not be CRLF-terminated, because curl adds +CRLF after each header item. Failure to comply with this will result in +strange bugs because the server will most likely ignore part of the headers +you specified. + +The first line in a request (containing the method, usually a GET or POST) is +not a header and cannot be replaced using this option. Only the lines +following the request-line are headers. Adding this method line in this list +of headers will only cause your request to send an invalid header. + +Pass a NULL to this to reset back to no custom headers. + +The most commonly replaced headers have "shortcuts" in the options +\fICURLOPT_COOKIE\fP, \fICURLOPT_USERAGENT\fP and \fICURLOPT_REFERER\fP. +.IP CURLOPT_HTTP200ALIASES +Pass a pointer to a linked list of aliases to be treated as valid HTTP 200 +responses. Some servers respond with a custom header response line. For +example, IceCast servers respond with "ICY 200 OK". By including this string +in your list of aliases, the response will be treated as a valid HTTP header +line such as "HTTP/1.0 200 OK". (Added in 7.10.3) + +The linked list should be a fully valid list of struct curl_slist structs, and +be properly filled in. Use \fIcurl_slist_append(3)\fP to create the list and +\fIcurl_slist_free_all(3)\fP to clean up an entire list. + +The alias itself is not parsed for any version strings. Before libcurl 7.16.3, +Libcurl used the value set by option \fICURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION\fP, but starting +with 7.16.3 the protocol is assumed to match HTTP 1.0 when an alias matched. +.IP CURLOPT_COOKIE +Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. It will be used to +set a cookie in the http request. The format of the string should be +NAME=CONTENTS, where NAME is the cookie name and CONTENTS is what the cookie +should contain. + +If you need to set multiple cookies, you need to set them all using a single +option and thus you need to concatenate them all in one single string. Set +multiple cookies in one string like this: "name1=content1; name2=content2;" +etc. + +This option sets the cookie header explicitly in the outgoing request(s). If +multiple requests are done due to authentication, followed redirections or +similar, they will all get this cookie passed on. + +Using this option multiple times will only make the latest string override the +previous ones. +.IP CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE +Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. It should contain the +name of your file holding cookie data to read. The cookie data may be in +Netscape / Mozilla cookie data format or just regular HTTP-style headers +dumped to a file. + +Given an empty or non-existing file or by passing the empty string (""), this +option will enable cookies for this curl handle, making it understand and +parse received cookies and then use matching cookies in future requests. + +If you use this option multiple times, you just add more files to read. +Subsequent files will add more cookies. +.IP CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR +Pass a file name as char *, zero terminated. This will make libcurl write all +internally known cookies to the specified file when \fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP +is called. If no cookies are known, no file will be created. Specify "-" to +instead have the cookies written to stdout. Using this option also enables +cookies for this session, so if you for example follow a location it will make +matching cookies get sent accordingly. + +If the cookie jar file can't be created or written to (when the +\fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP is called), libcurl will not and cannot report an +error for this. Using \fICURLOPT_VERBOSE\fP or \fICURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION\fP +will get a warning to display, but that is the only visible feedback you get +about this possibly lethal situation. +.IP CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION +Pass a long set to 1 to mark this as a new cookie "session". It will force +libcurl to ignore all cookies it is about to load that are "session cookies" +from the previous session. By default, libcurl always stores and loads all +cookies, independent if they are session cookies or not. Session cookies are +cookies without expiry date and they are meant to be alive and existing for +this "session" only. +.IP CURLOPT_COOKIELIST +Pass a char * to a cookie string. Cookie can be either in Netscape / Mozilla +format or just regular HTTP-style header (Set-Cookie: ...) format. If cURL +cookie engine was not enabled it will enable its cookie engine. Passing a +magic string \&"ALL" will erase all cookies known by cURL. (Added in 7.14.1) +Passing the special string \&"SESS" will only erase all session cookies known +by cURL. (Added in 7.15.4) Passing the special string \&"FLUSH" will write +all cookies known by cURL to the file specified by \fICURLOPT_COOKIEJAR\fP. +(Added in 7.17.1) +.IP CURLOPT_HTTPGET +Pass a long. If the long is 1, this forces the HTTP request to get back +to GET. Usable if a POST, HEAD, PUT, or a custom request has been used +previously using the same curl handle. + +When setting \fICURLOPT_HTTPGET\fP to 1, it will automatically set +\fICURLOPT_NOBODY\fP to 0 (since 7.14.1). +.IP CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION +Pass a long, set to one of the values described below. They force libcurl to +use the specific HTTP versions. This is not sensible to do unless you have a +good reason. +.RS +.IP CURL_HTTP_VERSION_NONE +We don't care about what version the library uses. libcurl will use whatever +it thinks fit. +.IP CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_0 +Enforce HTTP 1.0 requests. +.IP CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1 +Enforce HTTP 1.1 requests. +.RE +.IP CURLOPT_IGNORE_CONTENT_LENGTH +Ignore the Content-Length header. This is useful for Apache 1.x (and similar +servers) which will report incorrect content length for files over 2 +gigabytes. If this option is used, curl will not be able to accurately report +progress, and will simply stop the download when the server ends the +connection. (added in 7.14.1) +.IP CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING +Pass a long to tell libcurl how to act on content decoding. If set to zero, +content decoding will be disabled. If set to 1 it is enabled. Libcurl has no +default content decoding but requires you to use \fICURLOPT_ENCODING\fP for +that. (added in 7.16.2) +.IP CURLOPT_HTTP_TRANSFER_DECODING +Pass a long to tell libcurl how to act on transfer decoding. If set to zero, +transfer decoding will be disabled, if set to 1 it is enabled +(default). libcurl does chunked transfer decoding by default unless this +option is set to zero. (added in 7.16.2) +.SH SMTP OPTIONS +.IP CURLOPT_MAIL_FROM +Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. This should be used +to specify the sender's email address when sending SMTP mail with libcurl. + +An originator email address should be specified with angled brackets (<>) +around it, which if not specified, will be added by libcurl from version +7.21.4 onwards. Failing to provide such brackets may cause the server to +reject the email. + +If this parameter is not specified then an empty address will be sent to the +mail server which may or may not cause the email to be rejected. + +(Added in 7.20.0) +.IP CURLOPT_MAIL_RCPT +Pass a pointer to a linked list of recipients to pass to the server in your +SMTP mail request. The linked list should be a fully valid list of \fBstruct +curl_slist\fP structs properly filled in. Use \fIcurl_slist_append(3)\fP to +create the list and \fIcurl_slist_free_all(3)\fP to clean up an entire list. + +Each recipient should be specified within a pair of angled brackets (<>), +however, should you not use an angled bracket as the first character libcurl +will assume you provided a single email address and enclose that address +within brackets for you. + +(Added in 7.20.0) +.IP CURLOPT_MAIL_AUTH +Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. This will be used +to specify the authentication address (identity) of a submitted message that +is being relayed to another server. + +This optional parameter allows co-operating agents in a trusted environment to +communicate the authentication of individual messages and should only be used +by the application program, using libcurl, if the application is itself a +mail server acting in such an environment. If the application is operating as +such and the AUTH address is not known or is invalid, then an empty string +should be used for this parameter. + +Unlike CURLOPT_MAIL_FROM and CURLOPT_MAIL_RCPT, the address should not be +specified within a pair of angled brackets (<>). However, if an empty string +is used then a pair of brackets will be sent by libcurl as required by +RFC2554. + +(Added in 7.25.0) +.SH TFTP OPTIONS +.IP CURLOPT_TFTP_BLKSIZE +Specify block size to use for TFTP data transmission. Valid range as per +RFC2348 is 8-65464 bytes. The default of 512 bytes will be used if this option +is not specified. The specified block size will only be used pending support +by the remote server. If the server does not return an option acknowledgement +or returns an option acknowledgement with no blksize, the default of 512 bytes +will be used. (added in 7.19.4) +.SH FTP OPTIONS +.IP CURLOPT_FTPPORT +Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. It will be used to +get the IP address to use for the FTP PORT instruction. The PORT instruction +tells the remote server to connect to our specified IP address. The string may +be a plain IP address, a host name, a network interface name (under Unix) or +just a '-' symbol to let the library use your system's default IP +address. Default FTP operations are passive, and thus won't use PORT. + +The address can be followed by a ':' to specify a port, optionally followed by +a '-' to specify a port range. If the port specified is 0, the operating +system will pick a free port. If a range is provided and all ports in the +range are not available, libcurl will report CURLE_FTP_PORT_FAILED for the +handle. Invalid port/range settings are ignored. IPv6 addresses followed by +a port or portrange have to be in brackets. IPv6 addresses without port/range +specifier can be in brackets. (added in 7.19.5) + +Examples with specified ports: + +.nf + eth0:0 + 192.168.1.2:32000-33000 + curl.se:32123 + [::1]:1234-4567 +.fi + +You disable PORT again and go back to using the passive version by setting +this option to NULL. +.IP CURLOPT_QUOTE +Pass a pointer to a linked list of FTP or SFTP commands to pass to the server +prior to your FTP request. This will be done before any other commands are +issued (even before the CWD command for FTP). The linked list should be a +fully valid list of 'struct curl_slist' structs properly filled in with text +strings. Use \fIcurl_slist_append(3)\fP to append strings (commands) to the +list, and clear the entire list afterwards with +\fIcurl_slist_free_all(3)\fP. Disable this operation again by setting a NULL +to this option. When speaking to a FTP (or SFTP since 7.24.0) server, prefix +the command with an asterisk (*) to make libcurl continue even if the command +fails as by default libcurl will stop at first failure. + +The set of valid FTP commands depends on the server (see RFC959 for a list of +mandatory commands). + +The valid SFTP commands are: chgrp, chmod, chown, ln, mkdir, pwd, rename, rm, +rmdir, symlink (see +.BR curl (1)) +(SFTP support added in 7.16.3) +.IP CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE +Pass a pointer to a linked list of FTP or SFTP commands to pass to the server +after your FTP transfer request. The commands will only be run if no error +occurred. The linked list should be a fully valid list of struct curl_slist +structs properly filled in as described for \fICURLOPT_QUOTE\fP. Disable this +operation again by setting a NULL to this option. +.IP CURLOPT_PREQUOTE +Pass a pointer to a linked list of FTP commands to pass to the server after +the transfer type is set. The linked list should be a fully valid list of +struct curl_slist structs properly filled in as described for +\fICURLOPT_QUOTE\fP. Disable this operation again by setting a NULL to this +option. Before version 7.16.0, if you also set \fICURLOPT_NOBODY\fP to 1, this +option didn't work. +.IP CURLOPT_DIRLISTONLY +A parameter set to 1 tells the library to just list the names of files in a +directory, instead of doing a full directory listing that would include file +sizes, dates etc. This works for FTP and SFTP URLs. + +This causes an FTP NLST command to be sent on an FTP server. Beware that some +FTP servers list only files in their response to NLST; they might not include +subdirectories and symbolic links. + +Setting this option to 1 also implies a directory listing even if the URL +doesn't end with a slash, which otherwise is necessary. + +Do NOT use this option if you also use \fICURLOPT_WILDCARDMATCH\fP as it will +effectively break that feature then. + +(This option was known as CURLOPT_FTPLISTONLY up to 7.16.4) +.IP CURLOPT_APPEND +A parameter set to 1 tells the library to append to the remote file instead of +overwrite it. This is only useful when uploading to an FTP site. + +(This option was known as CURLOPT_FTPAPPEND up to 7.16.4) +.IP CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPRT +Pass a long. If the value is 1, it tells curl to use the EPRT (and +LPRT) command when doing active FTP downloads (which is enabled by +\fICURLOPT_FTPPORT\fP). Using EPRT means that it will first attempt to use +EPRT and then LPRT before using PORT, but if you pass zero to this +option, it will not try using EPRT or LPRT, only plain PORT. (Added in 7.10.5) + +If the server is an IPv6 host, this option will have no effect as of 7.12.3. +.IP CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPSV +Pass a long. If the value is 1, it tells curl to use the EPSV command +when doing passive FTP downloads (which it always does by default). Using EPSV +means that it will first attempt to use EPSV before using PASV, but if you +pass zero to this option, it will not try using EPSV, only plain PASV. + +If the server is an IPv6 host, this option will have no effect as of 7.12.3. +.IP CURLOPT_FTP_USE_PRET +Pass a long. If the value is 1, it tells curl to send a PRET command before +PASV (and EPSV). Certain FTP servers, mainly drftpd, require this non-standard +command for directory listings as well as up and downloads in PASV mode. Has +no effect when using the active FTP transfers mode. (Added in 7.20.0) +.IP CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS +Pass a long. If the value is 1, curl will attempt to create any remote +directory that it fails to CWD into. CWD is the command that changes working +directory. (Added in 7.10.7) + +This setting also applies to SFTP-connections. curl will attempt to create +the remote directory if it can't obtain a handle to the target-location. The +creation will fail if a file of the same name as the directory to create +already exists or lack of permissions prevents creation. (Added in 7.16.3) + +Starting with 7.19.4, you can also set this value to 2, which will make +libcurl retry the CWD command again if the subsequent MKD command fails. This +is especially useful if you're doing many simultaneous connections against the +same server and they all have this option enabled, as then CWD may first fail +but then another connection does MKD before this connection and thus MKD fails +but trying CWD works! 7.19.4 also introduced the \fICURLFTP_CREATE_DIR\fP and +\fICURLFTP_CREATE_DIR_RETRY\fP enum names for these arguments. + +Before version 7.19.4, libcurl will simply ignore arguments set to 2 and act +as if 1 was selected. +.IP CURLOPT_FTP_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT +Pass a long. Causes curl to set a timeout period (in seconds) on the amount +of time that the server is allowed to take in order to generate a response +message for a command before the session is considered hung. While curl is +waiting for a response, this value overrides \fICURLOPT_TIMEOUT\fP. It is +recommended that if used in conjunction with \fICURLOPT_TIMEOUT\fP, you set +\fICURLOPT_FTP_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT\fP to a value smaller than +\fICURLOPT_TIMEOUT\fP. (Added in 7.10.8) +.IP CURLOPT_FTP_ALTERNATIVE_TO_USER +Pass a char * as parameter, pointing to a string which will be used to +authenticate if the usual FTP "USER user" and "PASS password" negotiation +fails. This is currently only known to be required when connecting to +Tumbleweed's Secure Transport FTPS server using client certificates for +authentication. (Added in 7.15.5) +.IP CURLOPT_FTP_SKIP_PASV_IP +Pass a long. If set to 1, it instructs libcurl to not use the IP address the +server suggests in its 227-response to libcurl's PASV command when libcurl +connects the data connection. Instead libcurl will re-use the same IP address +it already uses for the control connection. But it will use the port number +from the 227-response. (Added in 7.14.2) + +This option has no effect if PORT, EPRT or EPSV is used instead of PASV. +.IP CURLOPT_FTPSSLAUTH +Pass a long using one of the values from below, to alter how libcurl issues +\&"AUTH TLS" or "AUTH SSL" when FTP over SSL is activated (see +\fICURLOPT_USE_SSL\fP). (Added in 7.12.2) +.RS +.IP CURLFTPAUTH_DEFAULT +Allow libcurl to decide. +.IP CURLFTPAUTH_SSL +Try "AUTH SSL" first, and only if that fails try "AUTH TLS". +.IP CURLFTPAUTH_TLS +Try "AUTH TLS" first, and only if that fails try "AUTH SSL". +.RE +.IP CURLOPT_FTP_SSL_CCC +If enabled, this option makes libcurl use CCC (Clear Command Channel). It +shuts down the SSL/TLS layer after authenticating. The rest of the +control channel communication will be unencrypted. This allows NAT routers +to follow the FTP transaction. Pass a long using one of the values below. +(Added in 7.16.1) +.RS +.IP CURLFTPSSL_CCC_NONE +Don't attempt to use CCC. +.IP CURLFTPSSL_CCC_PASSIVE +Do not initiate the shutdown, but wait for the server to do it. Do not send +a reply. +.IP CURLFTPSSL_CCC_ACTIVE +Initiate the shutdown and wait for a reply. +.RE +.IP CURLOPT_FTP_ACCOUNT +Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string (or NULL to disable). When an FTP +server asks for "account data" after user name and password has been provided, +this data is sent off using the ACCT command. (Added in 7.13.0) +.IP CURLOPT_FTP_FILEMETHOD +Pass a long that should have one of the following values. This option controls +what method libcurl should use to reach a file on a FTP(S) server. The +argument should be one of the following alternatives: +.RS +.IP CURLFTPMETHOD_MULTICWD +libcurl does a single CWD operation for each path part in the given URL. For +deep hierarchies this means many commands. This is how RFC1738 says it +should be done. This is the default but the slowest behavior. +.IP CURLFTPMETHOD_NOCWD +libcurl does no CWD at all. libcurl will do SIZE, RETR, STOR etc and give a +full path to the server for all these commands. This is the fastest behavior. +.IP CURLFTPMETHOD_SINGLECWD +libcurl does one CWD with the full target directory and then operates on the +file \&"normally" (like in the multicwd case). This is somewhat more standards +compliant than 'nocwd' but without the full penalty of 'multicwd'. +.RE +(Added in 7.15.1) +.SH RTSP OPTIONS +.IP CURLOPT_RTSP_REQUEST +Tell libcurl what kind of RTSP request to make. Pass one of the following RTSP +enum values. Unless noted otherwise, commands require the Session ID to be +initialized. (Added in 7.20.0) +.RS +.IP CURL_RTSPREQ_OPTIONS +Used to retrieve the available methods of the server. The application is +responsible for parsing and obeying the response. \fB(The session ID is not +needed for this method.)\fP (Added in 7.20.0) +.IP CURL_RTSPREQ_DESCRIBE +Used to get the low level description of a stream. The application should note +what formats it understands in the \fI'Accept:'\fP header. Unless set +manually, libcurl will automatically fill in \fI'Accept: +application/sdp'\fP. Time-condition headers will be added to Describe requests +if the \fICURLOPT_TIMECONDITION\fP option is active. \fB(The session ID is not +needed for this method)\fP (Added in 7.20.0) +.IP CURL_RTSPREQ_ANNOUNCE +When sent by a client, this method changes the description of the session. For +example, if a client is using the server to record a meeting, the client can +use Announce to inform the server of all the meta-information about the +session. ANNOUNCE acts like a HTTP PUT or POST just like +\fICURL_RTSPREQ_SET_PARAMETER\fP (Added in 7.20.0) +.IP CURL_RTSPREQ_SETUP +Setup is used to initialize the transport layer for the session. The +application must set the desired Transport options for a session by using the +\fICURLOPT_RTSP_TRANSPORT\fP option prior to calling setup. If no session ID +is currently set with \fICURLOPT_RTSP_SESSION_ID\fP, libcurl will extract and +use the session ID in the response to this request. \fB(The session ID is not +needed for this method).\fP (Added in 7.20.0) +.IP CURL_RTSPREQ_PLAY +Send a Play command to the server. Use the \fICURLOPT_RANGE\fP option to +modify the playback time (e.g. 'npt=10-15'). (Added in 7.20.0) +.IP CURL_RTSPREQ_PAUSE +Send a Pause command to the server. Use the \fICURLOPT_RANGE\fP option with a +single value to indicate when the stream should be halted. (e.g. npt='25') +(Added in 7.20.0) +.IP CURL_RTSPREQ_TEARDOWN +This command terminates an RTSP session. Simply closing a connection does not +terminate the RTSP session since it is valid to control an RTSP session over +different connections. (Added in 7.20.0) +.IP CURL_RTSPREQ_GET_PARAMETER +Retrieve a parameter from the server. By default, libcurl will automatically +include a \fIContent-Type: text/parameters\fP header on all non-empty requests +unless a custom one is set. GET_PARAMETER acts just like a HTTP PUT or POST +(see \fICURL_RTSPREQ_SET_PARAMETER\fP). +Applications wishing to send a heartbeat message (e.g. in the presence of a +server-specified timeout) should send use an empty GET_PARAMETER request. +(Added in 7.20.0) +.IP CURL_RTSPREQ_SET_PARAMETER +Set a parameter on the server. By default, libcurl will automatically include +a \fIContent-Type: text/parameters\fP header unless a custom one is set. The +interaction with SET_PARAMTER is much like a HTTP PUT or POST. An application +may either use \fICURLOPT_UPLOAD\fP with \fICURLOPT_READDATA\fP like a HTTP +PUT, or it may use \fICURLOPT_POSTFIELDS\fP like a HTTP POST. No chunked +transfers are allowed, so the application must set the +\fICURLOPT_INFILESIZE\fP in the former and \fICURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE\fP in the +latter. Also, there is no use of multi-part POSTs within RTSP. (Added in +7.20.0) +.IP CURL_RTSPREQ_RECORD +Used to tell the server to record a session. Use the \fICURLOPT_RANGE\fP +option to modify the record time. (Added in 7.20.0) +.IP CURL_RTSPREQ_RECEIVE +This is a special request because it does not send any data to the server. The +application may call this function in order to receive interleaved RTP +data. It will return after processing one read buffer of data in order to give +the application a chance to run. (Added in 7.20.0) +.RE +.IP CURLOPT_RTSP_SESSION_ID +Pass a char * as a parameter to set the value of the current RTSP Session ID +for the handle. Useful for resuming an in-progress session. Once this value is +set to any non-NULL value, libcurl will return \fICURLE_RTSP_SESSION_ERROR\fP +if ID received from the server does not match. If unset (or set to NULL), +libcurl will automatically set the ID the first time the server sets it in a +response. (Added in 7.20.0) +.IP CURLOPT_RTSP_STREAM_URI +Set the stream URI to operate on by passing a char * . For example, a single +session may be controlling \fIrtsp://foo/twister/audio\fP and +\fIrtsp://foo/twister/video\fP and the application can switch to the +appropriate stream using this option. If unset, libcurl will default to +operating on generic server options by passing '*' in the place of the RTSP +Stream URI. This option is distinct from \fICURLOPT_URL\fP. When working with +RTSP, the \fICURLOPT_STREAM_URI\fP indicates what URL to send to the server in +the request header while the \fICURLOPT_URL\fP indicates where to make the +connection to. (e.g. the \fICURLOPT_URL\fP for the above examples might be +set to \fIrtsp://foo/twister\fP (Added in 7.20.0) +.IP CURLOPT_RTSP_TRANSPORT +Pass a char * to tell libcurl what to pass for the Transport: header for this +RTSP session. This is mainly a convenience method to avoid needing to set a +custom Transport: header for every SETUP request. The application must set a +Transport: header before issuing a SETUP request. (Added in 7.20.0) +.IP CURLOPT_RTSP_HEADER +This option is simply an alias for \fICURLOPT_HTTP_HEADER\fP. Use this to +replace the standard headers that RTSP and HTTP share. It is also valid to use +the shortcuts such as \fICURLOPT_USERAGENT\fP. (Added in 7.20.0) +.IP CURLOPT_RTSP_CLIENT_CSEQ +Manually set the the CSEQ number to issue for the next RTSP request. Useful if +the application is resuming a previously broken connection. The CSEQ will +increment from this new number henceforth. (Added in 7.20.0) +.IP CURLOPT_RTSP_SERVER_CSEQ +Manually set the CSEQ number to expect for the next RTSP Server->Client +request. At the moment, this feature (listening for Server requests) is +unimplemented. (Added in 7.20.0) +.SH PROTOCOL OPTIONS +.IP CURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT +A parameter set to 1 tells the library to use ASCII mode for FTP transfers, +instead of the default binary transfer. For win32 systems it does not set the +stdout to binary mode. This option can be usable when transferring text data +between systems with different views on certain characters, such as newlines +or similar. + +libcurl does not do a complete ASCII conversion when doing ASCII transfers +over FTP. This is a known limitation/flaw that nobody has rectified. libcurl +simply sets the mode to ASCII and performs a standard transfer. +.IP CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE +Pass a long. If the value is set to 1 (one), it tells libcurl to set the +transfer mode (binary or ASCII) for FTP transfers done via a HTTP proxy, by +appending ;type=a or ;type=i to the URL. Without this setting, or it being set +to 0 (zero, the default), \fICURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT\fP has no effect when doing +FTP via a proxy. Beware that not all proxies support this feature. (Added in +7.18.0) +.IP CURLOPT_CRLF +Pass a long. If the value is set to 1 (one), libcurl converts Unix newlines to +CRLF newlines on transfers. Disable this option again by setting the value to +0 (zero). +.IP CURLOPT_RANGE +Pass a char * as parameter, which should contain the specified range you +want. It should be in the format "X-Y", where X or Y may be left out. HTTP +transfers also support several intervals, separated with commas as in +\fI"X-Y,N-M"\fP. Using this kind of multiple intervals will cause the HTTP +server to send the response document in pieces (using standard MIME separation +techniques). For RTSP, the formatting of a range should follow RFC2326 +Section 12.29. For RTSP, byte ranges are \fBnot\fP permitted. Instead, ranges +should be given in npt, utc, or smpte formats. + +Pass a NULL to this option to disable the use of ranges. + +Ranges work on HTTP, FTP, FILE (since 7.18.0), and RTSP (since 7.20.0) +transfers only. +.IP CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM +Pass a long as parameter. It contains the offset in number of bytes that you +want the transfer to start from. Set this option to 0 to make the transfer +start from the beginning (effectively disabling resume). For FTP, set this +option to -1 to make the transfer start from the end of the target file +(useful to continue an interrupted upload). + +When doing uploads with FTP, the resume position is where in the local/source +file libcurl should try to resume the upload from and it will then append the +source file to the remote target file. +.IP CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM_LARGE +Pass a curl_off_t as parameter. It contains the offset in number of bytes that +you want the transfer to start from. (Added in 7.11.0) +.IP CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST +Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. It can be used to +specify the request instead of GET or HEAD when performing HTTP based +requests, instead of LIST and NLST when performing FTP directory listings and +instead of LIST and RETR when issuing POP3 based commands. This is +particularly useful, for example, for performing a HTTP DELETE request or a +POP3 DELE command. + +Please don't perform this at will, on HTTP based requests, by making sure +your server supports the command you are sending first. + +When you change the request method by setting \fBCURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST\fP to +something, you don't actually change how libcurl behaves or acts in regards +to the particular request method, it will only change the actual string sent +in the request. + +For example: + +With the HTTP protocol when you tell libcurl to do a HEAD request, but then +specify a GET though a custom request libcurl will still act as if it sent a +HEAD. To switch to a proper HEAD use \fICURLOPT_NOBODY\fP, to switch to a +proper POST use \fICURLOPT_POST\fP or \fICURLOPT_POSTFIELDS\fP and to switch +to a proper GET use CURLOPT_HTTPGET. + +With the POP3 protocol when you tell libcurl to use a custom request it will +behave like a LIST or RETR command was sent where it expects data to be +returned by the server. As such \fICURLOPT_NOBODY\fP should be used when +specifying commands such as DELE and NOOP for example. + +Restore to the internal default by setting this to NULL. + +Many people have wrongly used this option to replace the entire request with +their own, including multiple headers and POST contents. While that might +work in many cases, it will cause libcurl to send invalid requests and it +could possibly confuse the remote server badly. Use \fICURLOPT_POST\fP and +\fICURLOPT_POSTFIELDS\fP to set POST data. Use \fICURLOPT_HTTPHEADER\fP to +replace or extend the set of headers sent by libcurl. Use +\fICURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION\fP to change HTTP version. + +(Support for POP3 added in 7.26.0) +.IP CURLOPT_FILETIME +Pass a long. If it is 1, libcurl will attempt to get the modification date of +the remote document in this operation. This requires that the remote server +sends the time or replies to a time querying command. The +\fIcurl_easy_getinfo(3)\fP function with the \fICURLINFO_FILETIME\fP argument +can be used after a transfer to extract the received time (if any). +.IP CURLOPT_NOBODY +A parameter set to 1 tells the library to not include the body-part in the +output. This is only relevant for protocols that have separate header and +body parts. On HTTP(S) servers, this will make libcurl do a HEAD request. + +To change request to GET, you should use \fICURLOPT_HTTPGET\fP. Change +request to POST with \fICURLOPT_POST\fP etc. +.IP CURLOPT_INFILESIZE +When uploading a file to a remote site, this option should be used to tell +libcurl what the expected size of the infile is. This value should be passed +as a long. See also \fICURLOPT_INFILESIZE_LARGE\fP. + +For uploading using SCP, this option or \fICURLOPT_INFILESIZE_LARGE\fP is +mandatory. + +When sending emails using SMTP, this command can be used to specify the +optional SIZE parameter for the MAIL FROM command. (Added in 7.23.0) + +This option does not limit how much data libcurl will actually send, as that +is controlled entirely by what the read callback returns. +.IP CURLOPT_INFILESIZE_LARGE +When uploading a file to a remote site, this option should be used to tell +libcurl what the expected size of the infile is. This value should be passed +as a curl_off_t. (Added in 7.11.0) + +For uploading using SCP, this option or \fICURLOPT_INFILESIZE\fP is mandatory. + +This option does not limit how much data libcurl will actually send, as that +is controlled entirely by what the read callback returns. +.IP CURLOPT_UPLOAD +A parameter set to 1 tells the library to prepare for an upload. The +\fICURLOPT_READDATA\fP and \fICURLOPT_INFILESIZE\fP or +\fICURLOPT_INFILESIZE_LARGE\fP options are also interesting for uploads. If +the protocol is HTTP, uploading means using the PUT request unless you tell +libcurl otherwise. + +Using PUT with HTTP 1.1 implies the use of a "Expect: 100-continue" header. +You can disable this header with \fICURLOPT_HTTPHEADER\fP as usual. + +If you use PUT to a HTTP 1.1 server, you can upload data without knowing the +size before starting the transfer if you use chunked encoding. You enable this +by adding a header like "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" with +\fICURLOPT_HTTPHEADER\fP. With HTTP 1.0 or without chunked transfer, you must +specify the size. +.IP CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE +Pass a long as parameter. This allows you to specify the maximum size (in +bytes) of a file to download. If the file requested is larger than this value, +the transfer will not start and CURLE_FILESIZE_EXCEEDED will be returned. + +The file size is not always known prior to download, and for such files this +option has no effect even if the file transfer ends up being larger than this +given limit. This concerns both FTP and HTTP transfers. +.IP CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE_LARGE +Pass a curl_off_t as parameter. This allows you to specify the maximum size +(in bytes) of a file to download. If the file requested is larger than this +value, the transfer will not start and \fICURLE_FILESIZE_EXCEEDED\fP will be +returned. (Added in 7.11.0) + +The file size is not always known prior to download, and for such files this +option has no effect even if the file transfer ends up being larger than this +given limit. This concerns both FTP and HTTP transfers. +.IP CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION +Pass a long as parameter. This defines how the \fICURLOPT_TIMEVALUE\fP time +value is treated. You can set this parameter to \fICURL_TIMECOND_IFMODSINCE\fP +or \fICURL_TIMECOND_IFUNMODSINCE\fP. This feature applies to HTTP, FTP, RTSP, +and FILE. + +The last modification time of a file is not always known and in such instances +this feature will have no effect even if the given time condition would not +have been met. \fIcurl_easy_getinfo(3)\fP with the +\fICURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET\fP option can be used after a transfer to learn if +a zero-byte successful "transfer" was due to this condition not matching. +.IP CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE +Pass a long as parameter. This should be the time in seconds since 1 Jan 1970, +and the time will be used in a condition as specified with +\fICURLOPT_TIMECONDITION\fP. +.SH CONNECTION OPTIONS +.IP CURLOPT_TIMEOUT +Pass a long as parameter containing the maximum time in seconds that you allow +the libcurl transfer operation to take. Normally, name lookups can take a +considerable time and limiting operations to less than a few minutes risk +aborting perfectly normal operations. This option will cause curl to use the +SIGALRM to enable time-outing system calls. + +In unix-like systems, this might cause signals to be used unless +\fICURLOPT_NOSIGNAL\fP is set. + +Default timeout is 0 (zero) which means it never times out. +.IP CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS +Like \fICURLOPT_TIMEOUT\fP but takes number of milliseconds instead. If +libcurl is built to use the standard system name resolver, that portion +of the transfer will still use full-second resolution for timeouts with +a minimum timeout allowed of one second. +(Added in 7.16.2) +.IP CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT +Pass a long as parameter. It contains the transfer speed in bytes per second +that the transfer should be below during \fICURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME\fP seconds +for the library to consider it too slow and abort. +.IP CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME +Pass a long as parameter. It contains the time in seconds that the transfer +should be below the \fICURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT\fP for the library to consider +it too slow and abort. +.IP CURLOPT_MAX_SEND_SPEED_LARGE +Pass a curl_off_t as parameter. If an upload exceeds this speed (counted in +bytes per second) on cumulative average during the transfer, the transfer will +pause to keep the average rate less than or equal to the parameter value. +Defaults to unlimited speed. (Added in 7.15.5) +.IP CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE +Pass a curl_off_t as parameter. If a download exceeds this speed (counted in +bytes per second) on cumulative average during the transfer, the transfer will +pause to keep the average rate less than or equal to the parameter +value. Defaults to unlimited speed. (Added in 7.15.5) +.IP CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS +Pass a long. The set number will be the persistent connection cache size. The +set amount will be the maximum amount of simultaneously open connections that +libcurl may cache in this easy handle. Default is 5, and there isn't much +point in changing this value unless you are perfectly aware of how this works +and changes libcurl's behaviour. This concerns connections using any of the +protocols that support persistent connections. + +When reaching the maximum limit, curl closes the oldest one in the cache to +prevent increasing the number of open connections. + +If you already have performed transfers with this curl handle, setting a +smaller MAXCONNECTS than before may cause open connections to get closed +unnecessarily. + +If you add this easy handle to a multi handle, this setting is not +acknowledged, and you must instead use \fIcurl_multi_setopt(3)\fP and the +\fICURLMOPT_MAXCONNECTS\fP option. +.IP CURLOPT_CLOSEPOLICY +(Obsolete) This option does nothing. +.IP CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT +Pass a long. Set to 1 to make the next transfer use a new (fresh) connection +by force. If the connection cache is full before this connection, one of the +existing connections will be closed as according to the selected or default +policy. This option should be used with caution and only if you understand +what it does. Set this to 0 to have libcurl attempt re-using an existing +connection (default behavior). +.IP CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE +Pass a long. Set to 1 to make the next transfer explicitly close the +connection when done. Normally, libcurl keeps all connections alive when done +with one transfer in case a succeeding one follows that can re-use them. +This option should be used with caution and only if you understand what it +does. Set to 0 to have libcurl keep the connection open for possible later +re-use (default behavior). +.IP CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT +Pass a long. It should contain the maximum time in seconds that you allow the +connection to the server to take. This only limits the connection phase, once +it has connected, this option is of no more use. Set to zero to switch to the +default built-in connection timeout - 300 seconds. See also the +\fICURLOPT_TIMEOUT\fP option. + +In unix-like systems, this might cause signals to be used unless +\fICURLOPT_NOSIGNAL\fP is set. +.IP CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS +Like \fICURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT\fP but takes the number of milliseconds +instead. If libcurl is built to use the standard system name resolver, +that portion of the connect will still use full-second resolution for +timeouts with a minimum timeout allowed of one second. +(Added in 7.16.2) +.IP CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE +Allows an application to select what kind of IP addresses to use when +resolving host names. This is only interesting when using host names that +resolve addresses using more than one version of IP. The allowed values are: +.RS +.IP CURL_IPRESOLVE_WHATEVER +Default, resolves addresses to all IP versions that your system allows. +.IP CURL_IPRESOLVE_V4 +Resolve to IPv4 addresses. +.IP CURL_IPRESOLVE_V6 +Resolve to IPv6 addresses. +.RE +.IP CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY +Pass a long. If the parameter equals 1, it tells the library to perform all +the required proxy authentication and connection setup, but no data transfer. +This option is implemented for HTTP, SMTP and POP3. + +The option can be used to simply test a connection to a server, but is more +useful when used with the \fICURLINFO_LASTSOCKET\fP option to +\fIcurl_easy_getinfo(3)\fP as the library can set up the connection and then +the application can obtain the most recently used socket for special data +transfers. (Added in 7.15.2) +.IP CURLOPT_USE_SSL +Pass a long using one of the values from below, to make libcurl use your +desired level of SSL for the transfer. (Added in 7.11.0) + +This is for enabling SSL/TLS when you use FTP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP etc. + +(This option was known as CURLOPT_FTP_SSL up to 7.16.4, and the constants +were known as CURLFTPSSL_*) +.RS +.IP CURLUSESSL_NONE +Don't attempt to use SSL. +.IP CURLUSESSL_TRY +Try using SSL, proceed as normal otherwise. +.IP CURLUSESSL_CONTROL +Require SSL for the control connection or fail with \fICURLE_USE_SSL_FAILED\fP. +.IP CURLUSESSL_ALL +Require SSL for all communication or fail with \fICURLE_USE_SSL_FAILED\fP. +.RE +.IP CURLOPT_RESOLVE +Pass a pointer to a linked list of strings with host name resolve information +to use for requests with this handle. The linked list should be a fully valid +list of \fBstruct curl_slist\fP structs properly filled in. Use +\fIcurl_slist_append(3)\fP to create the list and \fIcurl_slist_free_all(3)\fP +to clean up an entire list. + +Each single name resolve string should be written using the format +HOST:PORT:ADDRESS where HOST is the name libcurl will try to resolve, PORT is +the port number of the service where libcurl wants to connect to the HOST and +ADDRESS is the numerical IP address. If libcurl is built to support IPv6, +ADDRESS can of course be either IPv4 or IPv6 style addressing. + +This option effectively pre-populates the DNS cache with entries for the +host+port pair so redirects and everything that operations against the +HOST+PORT will instead use your provided ADDRESS. + +You can remove names from the DNS cache again, to stop providing these fake +resolves, by including a string in the linked list that uses the format +\&"-HOST:PORT". The host name must be prefixed with a dash, and the host name +and port number must exactly match what was already added previously. + +(Added in 7.21.3) +.IP CURLOPT_DNS_SERVERS +Set the list of DNS servers to be used instead of the system default. +The format of the dns servers option is: + +host[:port][,host[:port]]... + +For example: + +192.168.1.100,192.168.1.101,3.4.5.6 + +This option requires that libcurl was built with a resolver backend that +supports this operation. The c-ares backend is the only such one. + +(Added in 7.24.0) +.IP CURLOPT_ACCEPTTIMEOUT_MS +Pass a long telling libcurl the maximum number of milliseconds to wait for a +server to connect back to libcurl when an active FTP connection is used. If no +timeout is set, the internal default of 60000 will be used. (Added in 7.24.0) +.SH SSL and SECURITY OPTIONS +.IP CURLOPT_SSLCERT +Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. The string should be +the file name of your certificate. The default format is "PEM" and can be +changed with \fICURLOPT_SSLCERTTYPE\fP. + +With NSS this can also be the nickname of the certificate you wish to +authenticate with. If you want to use a file from the current directory, please +precede it with "./" prefix, in order to avoid confusion with a nickname. +.IP CURLOPT_SSLCERTTYPE +Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. The string should be +the format of your certificate. Supported formats are "PEM" and "DER". (Added +in 7.9.3) +.IP CURLOPT_SSLKEY +Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. The string should be +the file name of your private key. The default format is "PEM" and can be +changed with \fICURLOPT_SSLKEYTYPE\fP. +.IP CURLOPT_SSLKEYTYPE +Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. The string should be +the format of your private key. Supported formats are "PEM", "DER" and "ENG". + +The format "ENG" enables you to load the private key from a crypto engine. In +this case \fICURLOPT_SSLKEY\fP is used as an identifier passed to the +engine. You have to set the crypto engine with \fICURLOPT_SSLENGINE\fP. +\&"DER" format key file currently does not work because of a bug in OpenSSL. +.IP CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD +Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. It will be used as +the password required to use the \fICURLOPT_SSLKEY\fP or +\fICURLOPT_SSH_PRIVATE_KEYFILE\fP private key. +You never needed a pass phrase to load a certificate but you need one to +load your private key. + +(This option was known as CURLOPT_SSLKEYPASSWD up to 7.16.4 and +CURLOPT_SSLCERTPASSWD up to 7.9.2) +.IP CURLOPT_SSLENGINE +Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. It will be used as +the identifier for the crypto engine you want to use for your private +key. + +If the crypto device cannot be loaded, \fICURLE_SSL_ENGINE_NOTFOUND\fP is +returned. +.IP CURLOPT_SSLENGINE_DEFAULT +Sets the actual crypto engine as the default for (asymmetric) crypto +operations. + +If the crypto device cannot be set, \fICURLE_SSL_ENGINE_SETFAILED\fP is +returned. + +Even though this option doesn't need any parameter, in some configurations +\fIcurl_easy_setopt\fP might be defined as a macro taking exactly three +arguments. Therefore, it's recommended to pass 1 as parameter to this option. +.IP CURLOPT_SSLVERSION +Pass a long as parameter to control what version of SSL/TLS to attempt to use. +The available options are: +.RS +.IP CURL_SSLVERSION_DEFAULT +The default action. This will attempt to figure out the remote SSL protocol +version, i.e. either SSLv3 or TLSv1 (but not SSLv2, which became disabled +by default with 7.18.1). +.IP CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1 +Force TLSv1 +.IP CURL_SSLVERSION_SSLv2 +Force SSLv2 +.IP CURL_SSLVERSION_SSLv3 +Force SSLv3 +.RE +.IP CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER +Pass a long as parameter. By default, curl assumes a value of 1. + +This option determines whether curl verifies the authenticity of the peer's +certificate. A value of 1 means curl verifies; 0 (zero) means it doesn't. + +When negotiating a SSL connection, the server sends a certificate indicating +its identity. Curl verifies whether the certificate is authentic, i.e. that +you can trust that the server is who the certificate says it is. This trust +is based on a chain of digital signatures, rooted in certification authority +(CA) certificates you supply. curl uses a default bundle of CA certificates +(the path for that is determined at build time) and you can specify alternate +certificates with the \fICURLOPT_CAINFO\fP option or the \fICURLOPT_CAPATH\fP +option. + +When \fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER\fP is nonzero, and the verification fails to +prove that the certificate is authentic, the connection fails. When the +option is zero, the peer certificate verification succeeds regardless. + +Authenticating the certificate is not by itself very useful. You typically +want to ensure that the server, as authentically identified by its +certificate, is the server you mean to be talking to. Use +\fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST\fP to control that. The check that the host name in +the certificate is valid for the host name you're connecting to is done +independently of the \fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER\fP option. +.IP CURLOPT_CAINFO +Pass a char * to a zero terminated string naming a file holding one or more +certificates to verify the peer with. This makes sense only when used in +combination with the \fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER\fP option. If +\fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER\fP is zero, \fICURLOPT_CAINFO\fP need not +even indicate an accessible file. + +This option is by default set to the system path where libcurl's cacert bundle +is assumed to be stored, as established at build time. + +When built against NSS, this is the directory that the NSS certificate +database resides in. +.IP CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT +Pass a char * to a zero terminated string naming a file holding a CA +certificate in PEM format. If the option is set, an additional check against +the peer certificate is performed to verify the issuer is indeed the one +associated with the certificate provided by the option. This additional check +is useful in multi-level PKI where one needs to enforce that the peer +certificate is from a specific branch of the tree. + +This option makes sense only when used in combination with the +\fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER\fP option. Otherwise, the result of the check is not +considered as failure. + +A specific error code (CURLE_SSL_ISSUER_ERROR) is defined with the option, +which is returned if the setup of the SSL/TLS session has failed due to a +mismatch with the issuer of peer certificate (\fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER\fP has +to be set too for the check to fail). (Added in 7.19.0) +.IP CURLOPT_CAPATH +Pass a char * to a zero terminated string naming a directory holding multiple +CA certificates to verify the peer with. If libcurl is built against OpenSSL, +the certificate directory must be prepared using the openssl c_rehash utility. +This makes sense only when used in combination with the +\fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER\fP option. If \fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER\fP is zero, +\fICURLOPT_CAPATH\fP need not even indicate an accessible path. The +\fICURLOPT_CAPATH\fP function apparently does not work in Windows due to some +limitation in openssl. This option is OpenSSL-specific and does nothing if +libcurl is built to use GnuTLS. NSS-powered libcurl provides the option only +for backward compatibility. +.IP CURLOPT_CRLFILE +Pass a char * to a zero terminated string naming a file with the concatenation +of CRL (in PEM format) to use in the certificate validation that occurs during +the SSL exchange. + +When curl is built to use NSS or GnuTLS, there is no way to influence the use +of CRL passed to help in the verification process. When libcurl is built with +OpenSSL support, X509_V_FLAG_CRL_CHECK and X509_V_FLAG_CRL_CHECK_ALL are both +set, requiring CRL check against all the elements of the certificate chain if +a CRL file is passed. + +This option makes sense only when used in combination with the +\fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER\fP option. + +A specific error code (CURLE_SSL_CRL_BADFILE) is defined with the option. It +is returned when the SSL exchange fails because the CRL file cannot be loaded. +A failure in certificate verification due to a revocation information found in +the CRL does not trigger this specific error. (Added in 7.19.0) +.IP CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST +Pass a long as parameter. + +This option determines whether libcurl verifies that the server cert is for +the server it is known as. + +When negotiating a SSL connection, the server sends a certificate indicating +its identity. + +When \fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST\fP is 2, that certificate must indicate that +the server is the server to which you meant to connect, or the connection +fails. + +Curl considers the server the intended one when the Common Name field or a +Subject Alternate Name field in the certificate matches the host name in the +URL to which you told Curl to connect. + +When the value is 1, libcurl will return a failure. It was previously (in +7.28.0 and earlier) a debug option of some sorts, but it is no longer +supported due to frequently leading to programmer mistakes. + +When the value is 0, the connection succeeds regardless of the names in the +certificate. + +The default value for this option is 2. + +This option controls checking the server's certificate's claimed identity. +The server could be lying. To control lying, see +\fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER\fP. If libcurl is built against NSS and +\fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER\fP is zero, \fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST\fP +is ignored. + +.IP CURLOPT_CERTINFO +Pass a long set to 1 to enable libcurl's certificate chain info gatherer. With +this enabled, libcurl (if built with OpenSSL) will extract lots of information +and data about the certificates in the certificate chain used in the SSL +connection. This data is then possible to extract after a transfer using +\fIcurl_easy_getinfo(3)\fP and its option \fICURLINFO_CERTINFO\fP. (Added in +7.19.1) +.IP CURLOPT_RANDOM_FILE +Pass a char * to a zero terminated file name. The file will be used to read +from to seed the random engine for SSL. The more random the specified file is, +the more secure the SSL connection will become. +.IP CURLOPT_EGDSOCKET +Pass a char * to the zero terminated path name to the Entropy Gathering Daemon +socket. It will be used to seed the random engine for SSL. +.IP CURLOPT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST +Pass a char *, pointing to a zero terminated string holding the list of +ciphers to use for the SSL connection. The list must be syntactically correct, +it consists of one or more cipher strings separated by colons. Commas or +spaces are also acceptable separators but colons are normally used, \&!, \&- +and \&+ can be used as operators. + +For OpenSSL and GnuTLS valid examples of cipher lists include 'RC4-SHA', +\'SHA1+DES\', 'TLSv1' and 'DEFAULT'. The default list is normally set when you +compile OpenSSL. + +You'll find more details about cipher lists on this URL: +\fIhttp://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/ciphers.html\fP + +For NSS, valid examples of cipher lists include 'rsa_rc4_128_md5', +\'rsa_aes_128_sha\', etc. With NSS you don't add/remove ciphers. If one uses +this option then all known ciphers are disabled and only those passed in +are enabled. + +You'll find more details about the NSS cipher lists on this URL: +\fIhttp://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/mod_nss.git/plain/docs/mod_nss.html#Directives\fP + +.IP CURLOPT_SSL_SESSIONID_CACHE +Pass a long set to 0 to disable libcurl's use of SSL session-ID caching. Set +this to 1 to enable it. By default all transfers are done using the +cache. While nothing ever should get hurt by attempting to reuse SSL +session-IDs, there seem to be broken SSL implementations in the wild that may +require you to disable this in order for you to succeed. (Added in 7.16.0) +.IP CURLOPT_SSL_OPTIONS +Pass a long with a bitmask to tell libcurl about specific SSL behaviors. + +CURLSSLOPT_ALLOW_BEAST is the only supported bit and by setting this the user +will tell libcurl to not attempt to use any workarounds for a security flaw +in the SSL3 and TLS1.0 protocols. If this option isn't used or this bit is +set to 0, the SSL layer libcurl uses may use a work-around for this flaw +although it might cause interoperability problems with some (older) SSL +implementations. WARNING: avoiding this work-around loosens the security, and +by setting this option to 1 you ask for exactly that. (Added in 7.25.0) +.IP CURLOPT_KRBLEVEL +Pass a char * as parameter. Set the kerberos security level for FTP; this also +enables kerberos awareness. This is a string, \&'clear', \&'safe', +\&'confidential' or \&'private'. If the string is set but doesn't match one +of these, 'private' will be used. Set the string to NULL to disable kerberos +support for FTP. + +(This option was known as CURLOPT_KRB4LEVEL up to 7.16.3) +.IP CURLOPT_GSSAPI_DELEGATION +Set the parameter to CURLGSSAPI_DELEGATION_FLAG to allow unconditional GSSAPI +credential delegation. The delegation is disabled by default since 7.21.7. +Set the parameter to CURLGSSAPI_DELEGATION_POLICY_FLAG to delegate only if +the OK-AS-DELEGATE flag is set in the service ticket in case this feature is +supported by the GSSAPI implementation and the definition of +GSS_C_DELEG_POLICY_FLAG was available at compile-time. +(Added in 7.22.0) +.SH SSH OPTIONS +.IP CURLOPT_SSH_AUTH_TYPES +Pass a long set to a bitmask consisting of one or more of +CURLSSH_AUTH_PUBLICKEY, CURLSSH_AUTH_PASSWORD, CURLSSH_AUTH_HOST, +CURLSSH_AUTH_KEYBOARD and CURLSSH_AUTH_AGENT. Set CURLSSH_AUTH_ANY to let +libcurl pick a suitable one. Currently CURLSSH_AUTH_HOST has no effect. (Added +in 7.16.1) If CURLSSH_AUTH_AGENT is used, libcurl attempts to connect to +ssh-agent or pageant and let the agent attempt the authentication. (Added in +7.28.0) +.IP CURLOPT_SSH_HOST_PUBLIC_KEY_MD5 +Pass a char * pointing to a string containing 32 hexadecimal digits. The +string should be the 128 bit MD5 checksum of the remote host's public key, and +libcurl will reject the connection to the host unless the md5sums match. This +option is only for SCP and SFTP transfers. (Added in 7.17.1) +.IP CURLOPT_SSH_PUBLIC_KEYFILE +Pass a char * pointing to a file name for your public key. If not used, +libcurl defaults to \fB$HOME/.ssh/id_dsa.pub\fP if the HOME environment +variable is set, and just "id_dsa.pub" in the current directory if HOME is not +set. (Added in 7.16.1) +If an empty string is passed, libcurl will pass no public key to libssh2 +which then tries to compute it from the private key, this is known to work +when libssh2 1.4.0+ is linked against OpenSSL. (Added in 7.26.0) +.IP CURLOPT_SSH_PRIVATE_KEYFILE +Pass a char * pointing to a file name for your private key. If not used, +libcurl defaults to \fB$HOME/.ssh/id_dsa\fP if the HOME environment variable +is set, and just "id_dsa" in the current directory if HOME is not set. If the +file is password-protected, set the password with +\fICURLOPT_KEYPASSWD\fP. (Added in 7.16.1) +.IP CURLOPT_SSH_KNOWNHOSTS +Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string holding the file name of the +known_host file to use. The known_hosts file should use the OpenSSH file +format as supported by libssh2. If this file is specified, libcurl will only +accept connections with hosts that are known and present in that file, with a +matching public key. Use \fICURLOPT_SSH_KEYFUNCTION\fP to alter the default +behavior on host and key (mis)matching. (Added in 7.19.6) +.IP CURLOPT_SSH_KEYFUNCTION +Pass a pointer to a curl_sshkeycallback function. It gets called when the +known_host matching has been done, to allow the application to act and decide +for libcurl how to proceed. The callback will only be called if +\fICURLOPT_SSH_KNOWNHOSTS\fP is also set. + +The curl_sshkeycallback function gets passed the CURL handle, the key from the +known_hosts file, the key from the remote site, info from libcurl on the +matching status and a custom pointer (set with \fICURLOPT_SSH_KEYDATA\fP). It +MUST return one of the following return codes to tell libcurl how to act: +.RS +.IP CURLKHSTAT_FINE_ADD_TO_FILE +The host+key is accepted and libcurl will append it to the known_hosts file +before continuing with the connection. This will also add the host+key combo +to the known_host pool kept in memory if it wasn't already present there. The +adding of data to the file is done by completely replacing the file with a new +copy, so the permissions of the file must allow this. +.IP CURLKHSTAT_FINE +The host+key is accepted libcurl will continue with the connection. This will +also add the host+key combo to the known_host pool kept in memory if it wasn't +already present there. +.IP CURLKHSTAT_REJECT +The host+key is rejected. libcurl will deny the connection to continue and it +will be closed. +.IP CURLKHSTAT_DEFER +The host+key is rejected, but the SSH connection is asked to be kept alive. +This feature could be used when the app wants to somehow return back and act +on the host+key situation and then retry without needing the overhead of +setting it up from scratch again. +.RE + (Added in 7.19.6) +.IP CURLOPT_SSH_KEYDATA +Pass a void * as parameter. This pointer will be passed along verbatim to the +callback set with \fICURLOPT_SSH_KEYFUNCTION\fP. (Added in 7.19.6) +.SH OTHER OPTIONS +.IP CURLOPT_PRIVATE +Pass a void * as parameter, pointing to data that should be associated with +this curl handle. The pointer can subsequently be retrieved using +\fIcurl_easy_getinfo(3)\fP with the CURLINFO_PRIVATE option. libcurl itself +does nothing with this data. (Added in 7.10.3) +.IP CURLOPT_SHARE +Pass a share handle as a parameter. The share handle must have been created by +a previous call to \fIcurl_share_init(3)\fP. Setting this option, will make +this curl handle use the data from the shared handle instead of keeping the +data to itself. This enables several curl handles to share data. If the curl +handles are used simultaneously in multiple threads, you \fBMUST\fP use the +locking methods in the share handle. See \fIcurl_share_setopt(3)\fP for +details. + +If you add a share that is set to share cookies, your easy handle will use +that cookie cache and get the cookie engine enabled. If you unshare an object +that was using cookies (or change to another object that doesn't share +cookies), the easy handle will get its cookie engine disabled. + +Data that the share object is not set to share will be dealt with the usual +way, as if no share was used. +.IP CURLOPT_NEW_FILE_PERMS +Pass a long as a parameter, containing the value of the permissions that will +be assigned to newly created files on the remote server. The default value is +\fI0644\fP, but any valid value can be used. The only protocols that can use +this are \fIsftp://\fP, \fIscp://\fP, and \fIfile://\fP. (Added in 7.16.4) +.IP CURLOPT_NEW_DIRECTORY_PERMS +Pass a long as a parameter, containing the value of the permissions that will +be assigned to newly created directories on the remote server. The default +value is \fI0755\fP, but any valid value can be used. The only protocols that +can use this are \fIsftp://\fP, \fIscp://\fP, and \fIfile://\fP. +(Added in 7.16.4) +.SH TELNET OPTIONS +.IP CURLOPT_TELNETOPTIONS +Provide a pointer to a curl_slist with variables to pass to the telnet +negotiations. The variables should be in the format <option=value>. libcurl +supports the options 'TTYPE', 'XDISPLOC' and 'NEW_ENV'. See the TELNET +standard for details. +.SH RETURN VALUE +CURLE_OK (zero) means that the option was set properly, non-zero means an +error occurred as \fI<curl/curl.h>\fP defines. See the \fIlibcurl-errors(3)\fP +man page for the full list with descriptions. + +If you try to set an option that libcurl doesn't know about, perhaps because +the library is too old to support it or the option was removed in a recent +version, this function will return \fICURLE_FAILED_INIT\fP. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR curl_easy_init "(3), " curl_easy_cleanup "(3), " curl_easy_reset "(3)" diff --git a/docs/libcurl/curl_easy_strerror.3 b/docs/libcurl/curl_easy_strerror.3 new file mode 100644 index 000000000..a26c9c5db --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/libcurl/curl_easy_strerror.3 @@ -0,0 +1,37 @@ +.\" ************************************************************************** +.\" * _ _ ____ _ +.\" * Project ___| | | | _ \| | +.\" * / __| | | | |_) | | +.\" * | (__| |_| | _ <| |___ +.\" * \___|\___/|_| \_\_____| +.\" * +.\" * Copyright (C) 1998 - 2012, Daniel Stenberg, <daniel@haxx.se>, et al. +.\" * +.\" * This software is licensed as described in the file COPYING, which +.\" * you should have received as part of this distribution.

Append one section +at a time until you've added all the sections you want included and then you +pass the \fIfirstitem\fP pointer as parameter to \fBCURLOPT_HTTPPOST\fP. +\fIlastitem\fP is set after each \fIcurl_formadd(3)\fP call and on repeated +invokes it should be left as set to allow repeated invokes to find the end of +the list faster. + +After the \fIlastitem\fP pointer follow the real arguments. + +The pointers \fIfirstitem\fP and \fIlastitem\fP should both be pointing to +NULL in the first call to this function. All list-data will be allocated by +the function itself. You must call \fIcurl_formfree(3)\fP on the +\fIfirstitem\P after the form post has been done to free the resources. + +Using POST with HTTP 1.1 implies the use of a "Expect: 100-continue" header. +You can disable this header with \fICURLOPT_HTTPHEADER\fP as usual. + +First, there are some basics you need to understand about multipart/formdata +posts. Each part consists of at least a NAME and a CONTENTS part. If the part +is made for file upload, there are also a stored CONTENT-TYPE and a FILENAME. +Below, we'll discuss what options you use to set these properties in the +parts you want to add to your post. + +The options listed first are for making normal parts. The options from +\fICURLFORM_FILE\fP through \fICURLFORM_BUFFERLENGTH\fP are for file upload +parts. +.SH OPTIONS +.IP CURLFORM_COPYNAME +followed by a string which provides the \fIname\fP of this part. libcurl +copies the string so your application doesn't need to keep it around after +this function call. If the name isn't NUL-terminated, or if you'd +like it to contain zero bytes, you must set its length with +\fBCURLFORM_NAMELENGTH\fP. The copied data will be freed by +\fIcurl_formfree(3)\fP. +.IP CURLFORM_PTRNAME +followed by a string which provides the \fIname\fP of this part. libcurl +will use the pointer and refer to the data in your application, so you +must make sure it remains until curl no longer needs it. If the name +isn't NUL-terminated, or if you'd like it to contain zero +bytes, you must set its length with \fBCURLFORM_NAMELENGTH\fP. +.IP CURLFORM_COPYCONTENTS +followed by a pointer to the contents of this part, the actual data +to send away. libcurl copies the provided data, so your application doesn't +need to keep it around after this function call. If the data isn't null +terminated, or if you'd like it to contain zero bytes, you must +set the length of the name with \fBCURLFORM_CONTENTSLENGTH\fP. The copied +data will be freed by \fIcurl_formfree(3)\fP. +.IP CURLFORM_PTRCONTENTS +followed by a pointer to the contents of this part, the actual data +to send away. libcurl will use the pointer and refer to the data in your +application, so you must make sure it remains until curl no longer needs it. +If the data isn't NUL-terminated, or if you'd like it to contain zero bytes, +you must set its length with \fBCURLFORM_CONTENTSLENGTH\fP. +.IP CURLFORM_CONTENTSLENGTH +followed by a long giving the length of the contents. Note that for +\fICURLFORM_STREAM\fP contents, this option is mandatory. +.IP CURLFORM_FILECONTENT +followed by a filename, causes that file to be read and its contents used +as data in this part. This part does \fInot\fP automatically become a file +upload part simply because its data was read from a file. +.IP CURLFORM_FILE +followed by a filename, makes this part a file upload part. It sets the +\fIfilename\fP field to the basename of the provided filename, it reads the +contents of the file and passes them as data and sets the content-type if the +given file match one of the internally known file extensions. For +\fBCURLFORM_FILE\fP the user may send one or more files in one part by +providing multiple \fBCURLFORM_FILE\fP arguments each followed by the filename +(and each \fICURLFORM_FILE\fP is allowed to have a +\fICURLFORM_CONTENTTYPE\fP). +.IP CURLFORM_CONTENTTYPE +is used in combination with \fICURLFORM_FILE\fP. Followed by a pointer to a +string which provides the content-type for this part, possibly instead of an +internally chosen one. +.IP CURLFORM_FILENAME +is used in combination with \fICURLFORM_FILE\fP. Followed by a pointer to a +string, it tells libcurl to use the given string as the \fIfilename\fP in the +file upload part instead of the actual file name. +.IP CURLFORM_BUFFER +is used for custom file upload parts without use of \fICURLFORM_FILE\fP. It +tells libcurl that the file contents are already present in a buffer. The +parameter is a string which provides the \fIfilename\fP field in the content +header. +.IP CURLFORM_BUFFERPTR +is used in combination with \fICURLFORM_BUFFER\fP. The parameter is a pointer +to the buffer to be uploaded. This buffer must not be freed until after +\fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP is called. You must also use +\fICURLFORM_BUFFERLENGTH\fP to set the number of bytes in the buffer. +.IP CURLFORM_BUFFERLENGTH +is used in combination with \fICURLFORM_BUFFER\fP. The parameter is a +long which gives the length of the buffer. +.IP CURLFORM_STREAM +Tells libcurl to use the \fICURLOPT_READFUNCTION\fP callback to get data. The +parameter you pass to \fICURLFORM_STREAM\fP is the pointer passed on to the +read callback's fourth argument. If you want the part to look like a file +upload one, set the \fICURLFORM_FILENAME\fP parameter as well. Note that when +using \fICURLFORM_STREAM\fP, \fICURLFORM_CONTENTSLENGTH\fP must also be set +with the total expected length of the part. (Option added in libcurl 7.18.2) +.IP CURLFORM_ARRAY +Another possibility to send options to curl_formadd() is the +\fBCURLFORM_ARRAY\fP option, that passes a struct curl_forms array pointer as +its value. Each curl_forms structure element has a CURLformoption and a char +pointer. The final element in the array must be a CURLFORM_END. All available +options can be used in an array, except the CURLFORM_ARRAY option itself! The +last argument in such an array must always be \fBCURLFORM_END\fP. +.IP CURLFORM_CONTENTHEADER +specifies extra headers for the form POST section. This takes a curl_slist +prepared in the usual way using \fBcurl_slist_append\fP and appends the list +of headers to those libcurl automatically generates. The list must exist while +the POST occurs, if you free it before the post completes you may experience +problems. + +When you've passed the HttpPost pointer to \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP (using +the \fICURLOPT_HTTPPOST\fP option), you must not free the list until after +you've called \fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP for the curl handle. + +See example below. +.SH RETURN VALUE +0 means everything was ok, non-zero means an error occurred corresponding +to a CURL_FORMADD_* constant defined in +.I <curl/curl.h> +.SH EXAMPLE +.nf + + struct curl_httppost* post = NULL; + struct curl_httppost* last = NULL; + char namebuffer[] = "name buffer"; + long namelength = strlen(namebuffer); + char buffer[] = "test buffer"; + char htmlbuffer[] = "<HTML>test buffer</HTML>"; + long htmlbufferlength = strlen(htmlbuffer); + struct curl_forms forms[3]; + char file1[] = "my-face.jpg"; + char file2[] = "your-face.jpg"; + /* add null character into htmlbuffer, to demonstrate that + transfers of buffers containing null characters actually work + */ + htmlbuffer[8] = '\\0'; + + /* Add simple name/content section */ + curl_formadd(&post, &last, CURLFORM_COPYNAME, "name", + CURLFORM_COPYCONTENTS, "content", CURLFORM_END); + + /* Add simple name/content/contenttype section */ + curl_formadd(&post, &last, CURLFORM_COPYNAME, "htmlcode", + CURLFORM_COPYCONTENTS, "<HTML></HTML>", + CURLFORM_CONTENTTYPE, "text/html", CURLFORM_END); + + /* Add name/ptrcontent section */ + curl_formadd(&post, &last, CURLFORM_COPYNAME, "name_for_ptrcontent", + CURLFORM_PTRCONTENTS, buffer, CURLFORM_END); + + /* Add ptrname/ptrcontent section */ + curl_formadd(&post, &last, CURLFORM_PTRNAME, namebuffer, + CURLFORM_PTRCONTENTS, buffer, CURLFORM_NAMELENGTH, + namelength, CURLFORM_END); + + /* Add name/ptrcontent/contenttype section */ + curl_formadd(&post, &last, CURLFORM_COPYNAME, "html_code_with_hole", + CURLFORM_PTRCONTENTS, htmlbuffer, + CURLFORM_CONTENTSLENGTH, htmlbufferlength, + CURLFORM_CONTENTTYPE, "text/html", CURLFORM_END); + + /* Add simple file section */ + curl_formadd(&post, &last, CURLFORM_COPYNAME, "picture", + CURLFORM_FILE, "my-face.jpg", CURLFORM_END); + + /* Add file/contenttype section */ + curl_formadd(&post, &last, CURLFORM_COPYNAME, "picture", + CURLFORM_FILE, "my-face.jpg", + CURLFORM_CONTENTTYPE, "image/jpeg", CURLFORM_END); + + /* Add two file section */ + curl_formadd(&post, &last, CURLFORM_COPYNAME, "pictures", + CURLFORM_FILE, "my-face.jpg", + CURLFORM_FILE, "your-face.jpg", CURLFORM_END); + + /* Add two file section using CURLFORM_ARRAY */ + forms[0].option = CURLFORM_FILE; + forms[0].value = file1; + forms[1].option = CURLFORM_FILE; + forms[1].value = file2; + forms[2].option = CURLFORM_END; + + /* Add a buffer to upload */ + curl_formadd(&post, &last, + CURLFORM_COPYNAME, "name", + CURLFORM_BUFFER, "data", + CURLFORM_BUFFERPTR, record, + CURLFORM_BUFFERLENGTH, record_length, + CURLFORM_END); + + /* no option needed for the end marker */ + curl_formadd(&post, &last, CURLFORM_COPYNAME, "pictures", + CURLFORM_ARRAY, forms, CURLFORM_END); + /* Add the content of a file as a normal post text value */ + curl_formadd(&post, &last, CURLFORM_COPYNAME, "filecontent", + CURLFORM_FILECONTENT, ".bashrc", CURLFORM_END); + /* Set the form info */ + curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPPOST, post); + +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR curl_easy_setopt "(3), " +.BR curl_formfree "(3)" diff --git a/docs/libcurl/curl_formfree.3 b/docs/libcurl/curl_formfree.3 new file mode 100644 index 000000000..7438a1640 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/libcurl/curl_formfree.3 @@ -0,0 +1,44 @@ +.\" ************************************************************************** +.\" * _ _ ____ _ +.\" * Project ___| | | | _ \| | +.\" * / __| | | | |_) | | +.\" * | (__| |_| | _ <| |___ +.\" * \___|\___/|_| \_\_____| +.\" * +.\" * Copyright (C) 1998 - 2011, Daniel Stenberg, <daniel@haxx.se>, et al. +.\" * +.\" * This software is licensed as described in the file COPYING, which +.\" * you should have received as part of this distribution.

The new one is not +feature-complete with the old one, but most of the formats supported by the +new one was supported by the old too. +.SH PARSING DATES AND TIMES +A "date" is a string containing several items separated by whitespace. The +order of the items is immaterial. A date string may contain many flavors of +items: +.TP 0.8i +.B calendar date items +Can be specified several ways. Month names can only be three-letter english +abbreviations, numbers can be zero-prefixed and the year may use 2 or 4 digits. +Examples: 06 Nov 1994, 06-Nov-94 and Nov-94 6. +.TP +.B time of the day items +This string specifies the time on a given day. You must specify it with 6 +digits with two colons: HH:MM:SS. To not include the time in a date string, +will make the function assume 00:00:00. Example: 18:19:21. +.TP +.B time zone items +Specifies international time zone. There are a few acronyms supported, but in +general you should instead use the specific relative time compared to +UTC. Supported formats include: -1200, MST, +0100. +.TP +.B day of the week items +Specifies a day of the week. Days of the week may be spelled out in full +(using english): `Sunday', `Monday', etc or they may be abbreviated to their +first three letters. This is usually not info that adds anything. +.TP +.B pure numbers +If a decimal number of the form YYYYMMDD appears, then YYYY is read as the +year, MM as the month number and DD as the day of the month, for the specified +calendar date. +.PP +.SH EXAMPLES +.nf +Sun, 06 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT +Sunday, 06-Nov-94 08:49:37 GMT +Sun Nov 6 08:49:37 1994 +06 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT +06-Nov-94 08:49:37 GMT +Nov 6 08:49:37 1994 +06 Nov 1994 08:49:37 +06-Nov-94 08:49:37 +1994 Nov 6 08:49:37 +GMT 08:49:37 06-Nov-94 Sunday +94 6 Nov 08:49:37 +1994 Nov 6 +06-Nov-94 +Sun Nov 6 94 +1994.Nov.6 +Sun/Nov/6/94/GMT +Sun, 06 Nov 1994 08:49:37 CET +06 Nov 1994 08:49:37 EST +Sun, 12 Sep 2004 15:05:58 -0700 +Sat, 11 Sep 2004 21:32:11 +0200 +20040912 15:05:58 -0700 +20040911 +0200 +.fi +.SH STANDARDS +This parser was written to handle date formats specified in RFC 822 (including +the update in RFC 1123) using time zone name or time zone delta and RFC 850 +(obsoleted by RFC 1036) and ANSI C's asctime() format. These formats are the +only ones RFC2616 says HTTP applications may use. +.SH RETURN VALUE +This function returns -1 when it fails to parse the date string. Otherwise it +returns the number of seconds as described. + +If the year is larger than 2037 on systems with 32 bit time_t, this function +will return 0x7fffffff (since that is the largest possible signed 32 bit +number). + +Having a 64 bit time_t is not a guarantee that dates beyond 03:14:07 UTC, +January 19, 2038 will work fine. On systems with a 64 bit time_t but with a +crippled mktime(), \fIcurl_getdate\fP will return -1 in this case. +.SH REWRITE +The former version of this function was built with yacc and was not only very +large, it was also never quite understood and it wasn't possible to build with +non-GNU tools since only GNU Bison could make it thread-safe! + +The rewrite was done for 7.12.2.

Set the callback's \fBuserp\fP +argument with \fICURLMOPT_SOCKETDATA\fP.

This is not used by libcurl but only +passed-thru as-is. Set the callback pointer with +\fICURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION\fP. +.IP CURLMOPT_PIPELINING +Pass a long set to 1 to enable or 0 to disable. Enabling pipelining on a multi +handle will make it attempt to perform HTTP Pipelining as far as possible for +transfers using this handle. This means that if you add a second request that +can use an already existing connection, the second request will be \&"piped" +on the same connection rather than being executed in parallel. (Added in +7.16.0) +.IP CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION +Pass a pointer to a function matching the \fBcurl_multi_timer_callback\fP +prototype. This function will then be called when the timeout value +changes. The timeout value is at what latest time the application should call +one of the \&"performing" functions of the multi interface +(\fIcurl_multi_socket_action(3)\fP and \fIcurl_multi_perform(3)\fP) - to allow +libcurl to keep timeouts and retries etc to work. A timeout value of -1 means +that there is no timeout at all, and 0 means that the timeout is already +reached. Libcurl attempts to limit calling this only when the fixed future +timeout time actually changes. See also \fICURLMOPT_TIMERDATA\fP. This +callback can be used instead of, or in addition to, +\fIcurl_multi_timeout(3)\fP. (Added in 7.16.0) +.IP CURLMOPT_TIMERDATA +Pass a pointer to whatever you want passed to the +\fBcurl_multi_timer_callback\fP's third argument, the userp pointer.

No matter +what, using the \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP option \fICURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER\fP is +a good idea as it will give you a human readable error string that may offer +more details about the cause of the error than just the error code. +\fIcurl_easy_strerror(3)\fP can be called to get an error string from a +given CURLcode number. + +CURLcode is one of the following: +.IP "CURLE_OK (0)" +All fine. Proceed as usual. +.IP "CURLE_UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL (1)" +The URL you passed to libcurl used a protocol that this libcurl does not +support. The support might be a compile-time option that you didn't use, it +can be a misspelled protocol string or just a protocol libcurl has no code +for. +.IP "CURLE_FAILED_INIT (2)" +Very early initialization code failed. This is likely to be an internal error +or problem, or a resource problem where something fundamental couldn't get +done at init time. +.IP "CURLE_URL_MALFORMAT (3)" +The URL was not properly formatted. +.IP "CURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN (4)" +A requested feature, protocol or option was not found built-in in this libcurl +due to a build-time decision. This means that a feature or option was not +enabled or explicitly disabled when libcurl was built and in order to get it +to function you have to get a rebuilt libcurl. +.IP "CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_PROXY (5)" +Couldn't resolve proxy. The given proxy host could not be resolved. +.IP "CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_HOST (6)" +Couldn't resolve host. The given remote host was not resolved. +.IP "CURLE_COULDNT_CONNECT (7)" +Failed to connect() to host or proxy. +.IP "CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_SERVER_REPLY (8)" +After connecting to a FTP server, libcurl expects to get a certain reply +back. This error code implies that it got a strange or bad reply. The given +remote server is probably not an OK FTP server. +.IP "CURLE_REMOTE_ACCESS_DENIED (9)" +We were denied access to the resource given in the URL. For FTP, this occurs +while trying to change to the remote directory. +.IP "CURLE_FTP_ACCEPT_FAILED (10)" +While waiting for the server to connect back when an active FTP session is +used, an error code was sent over the control connection or similar. +.IP "CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_PASS_REPLY (11)" +After having sent the FTP password to the server, libcurl expects a proper +reply. This error code indicates that an unexpected code was returned. +.IP "CURLE_FTP_ACCEPT_TIMEOUT (12)" +During an active FTP session while waiting for the server to connect, the +\fICURLOPT_ACCEPTTIMOUT_MS\fP (or the internal default) timeout expired. +.IP "CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_PASV_REPLY (13)" +libcurl failed to get a sensible result back from the server as a response to +either a PASV or a EPSV command. The server is flawed. +.IP "CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_227_FORMAT (14)" +FTP servers return a 227-line as a response to a PASV command. If libcurl +fails to parse that line, this return code is passed back. +.IP "CURLE_FTP_CANT_GET_HOST (15)" +An internal failure to lookup the host used for the new connection. +.IP "CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_SET_TYPE (17)" +Received an error when trying to set the transfer mode to binary or ASCII. +.IP "CURLE_PARTIAL_FILE (18)" +A file transfer was shorter or larger than expected. This happens when the +server first reports an expected transfer size, and then delivers data that +doesn't match the previously given size. +.IP "CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_RETR_FILE (19)" +This was either a weird reply to a 'RETR' command or a zero byte transfer +complete. +.IP "CURLE_QUOTE_ERROR (21)" +When sending custom "QUOTE" commands to the remote server, one of the commands +returned an error code that was 400 or higher (for FTP) or otherwise +indicated unsuccessful completion of the command. +.IP "CURLE_HTTP_RETURNED_ERROR (22)" +This is returned if CURLOPT_FAILONERROR is set TRUE and the HTTP server +returns an error code that is >= 400. +.IP "CURLE_WRITE_ERROR (23)" +An error occurred when writing received data to a local file, or an error was +returned to libcurl from a write callback. +.IP "CURLE_UPLOAD_FAILED (25)" +Failed starting the upload. For FTP, the server typically denied the STOR +command. The error buffer usually contains the server's explanation for this. +.IP "CURLE_READ_ERROR (26)" +There was a problem reading a local file or an error returned by the read +callback. +.IP "CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY (27)" +A memory allocation request failed. This is serious badness and +things are severely screwed up if this ever occurs. +.IP "CURLE_OPERATION_TIMEDOUT (28)" +Operation timeout. The specified time-out period was reached according to the +conditions. +.IP "CURLE_FTP_PORT_FAILED (30)" +The FTP PORT command returned error. This mostly happens when you haven't +specified a good enough address for libcurl to use. See \fICURLOPT_FTPPORT\fP. +.IP "CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_USE_REST (31)" +The FTP REST command returned error. This should never happen if the server is +sane. +.IP "CURLE_RANGE_ERROR (33)" +The server does not support or accept range requests. +.IP "CURLE_HTTP_POST_ERROR (34)" +This is an odd error that mainly occurs due to internal confusion. +.IP "CURLE_SSL_CONNECT_ERROR (35)" +A problem occurred somewhere in the SSL/TLS handshake. You really want the +error buffer and read the message there as it pinpoints the problem slightly +more. Could be certificates (file formats, paths, permissions), passwords, and +others. +.IP "CURLE_BAD_DOWNLOAD_RESUME (36)" +The download could not be resumed because the specified offset was out of the +file boundary. +.IP "CURLE_FILE_COULDNT_READ_FILE (37)" +A file given with FILE:// couldn't be opened. Most likely because the file +path doesn't identify an existing file. Did you check file permissions? +.IP "CURLE_LDAP_CANNOT_BIND (38)" +LDAP cannot bind. LDAP bind operation failed. +.IP "CURLE_LDAP_SEARCH_FAILED (39)" +LDAP search failed. +.IP "CURLE_FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND (41)" +Function not found. A required zlib function was not found. +.IP "CURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK (42)" +Aborted by callback. A callback returned "abort" to libcurl. +.IP "CURLE_BAD_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT (43)" +Internal error. A function was called with a bad parameter. +.IP "CURLE_INTERFACE_FAILED (45)" +Interface error. A specified outgoing interface could not be used. Set which +interface to use for outgoing connections' source IP address with +CURLOPT_INTERFACE. +.IP "CURLE_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS (47)" +Too many redirects. When following redirects, libcurl hit the maximum amount. +Set your limit with CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS. +.IP "CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION (48)" +An option passed to libcurl is not recognized/known. Refer to the appropriate +documentation. This is most likely a problem in the program that uses +libcurl. The error buffer might contain more specific information about which +exact option it concerns. +.IP "CURLE_TELNET_OPTION_SYNTAX (49)" +A telnet option string was Illegally formatted. +.IP "CURLE_PEER_FAILED_VERIFICATION (51)" +The remote server's SSL certificate or SSH md5 fingerprint was deemed not OK. +.IP "CURLE_GOT_NOTHING (52)" +Nothing was returned from the server, and under the circumstances, getting +nothing is considered an error. +.IP "CURLE_SSL_ENGINE_NOTFOUND (53)" +The specified crypto engine wasn't found. +.IP "CURLE_SSL_ENGINE_SETFAILED (54)" +Failed setting the selected SSL crypto engine as default! +.IP "CURLE_SEND_ERROR (55)" +Failed sending network data. +.IP "CURLE_RECV_ERROR (56)" +Failure with receiving network data. +.IP "CURLE_SSL_CERTPROBLEM (58)" +problem with the local client certificate. +.IP "CURLE_SSL_CIPHER (59)" +Couldn't use specified cipher. +.IP "CURLE_SSL_CACERT (60)" +Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with known CA certificates. +.IP "CURLE_BAD_CONTENT_ENCODING (61)" +Unrecognized transfer encoding. +.IP "CURLE_LDAP_INVALID_URL (62)" +Invalid LDAP URL. +.IP "CURLE_FILESIZE_EXCEEDED (63)" +Maximum file size exceeded. +.IP "CURLE_USE_SSL_FAILED (64)" +Requested FTP SSL level failed. +.IP "CURLE_SEND_FAIL_REWIND (65)" +When doing a send operation curl had to rewind the data to retransmit, but the +rewinding operation failed. +.IP "CURLE_SSL_ENGINE_INITFAILED (66)" +Initiating the SSL Engine failed. +.IP "CURLE_LOGIN_DENIED (67)" +The remote server denied curl to login (Added in 7.13.1) +.IP "CURLE_TFTP_NOTFOUND (68)" +File not found on TFTP server. +.IP "CURLE_TFTP_PERM (69)" +Permission problem on TFTP server. +.IP "CURLE_REMOTE_DISK_FULL (70)" +Out of disk space on the server. +.IP "CURLE_TFTP_ILLEGAL (71)" +Illegal TFTP operation. +.IP "CURLE_TFTP_UNKNOWNID (72)" +Unknown TFTP transfer ID. +.IP "CURLE_REMOTE_FILE_EXISTS (73)" +File already exists and will not be overwritten. +.IP "CURLE_TFTP_NOSUCHUSER (74)" +This error should never be returned by a properly functioning TFTP server. +.IP "CURLE_CONV_FAILED (75)" +Character conversion failed. +.IP "CURLE_CONV_REQD (76)" +Caller must register conversion callbacks. +.IP "CURLE_SSL_CACERT_BADFILE (77)" +Problem with reading the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?) +.IP "CURLE_REMOTE_FILE_NOT_FOUND (78)" +The resource referenced in the URL does not exist. +.IP "CURLE_SSH (79)" +An unspecified error occurred during the SSH session. +.IP "CURLE_SSL_SHUTDOWN_FAILED (80)" +Failed to shut down the SSL connection. +.IP "CURLE_AGAIN (81)" +Socket is not ready for send/recv wait till it's ready and try again.

There are specific man pages for each function mentioned in +here. There's also the \fIlibcurl-tutorial(3)\fP man page for a complete +tutorial to programming with libcurl and the \fIlibcurl-easy(3)\fP man page +for an overview of the libcurl easy interface. + +All functions in the multi interface are prefixed with curl_multi. +.SH "OBJECTIVES" +The multi interface offers several abilities that the easy interface doesn't. +They are mainly: + +1. Enable a "pull" interface. The application that uses libcurl decides where +and when to ask libcurl to get/send data. + +2. Enable multiple simultaneous transfers in the same thread without making it +complicated for the application. + +3. Enable the application to wait for action on its own file descriptors and +curl's file descriptors simultaneous easily. +.SH "ONE MULTI HANDLE MANY EASY HANDLES" +To use the multi interface, you must first create a 'multi handle' with +\fIcurl_multi_init(3)\fP. This handle is then used as input to all further +curl_multi_* functions. + +Each single transfer is built up with an easy handle. You must create them, +and setup the appropriate options for each easy handle, as outlined in the +\fIlibcurl(3)\fP man page, using \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP. + +When the easy handle is setup for a transfer, then instead of using +\fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP (as when using the easy interface for transfers), +you should instead add the easy handle to the multi handle using +\fIcurl_multi_add_handle(3)\fP. The multi handle is sometimes referred to as a +\'multi stack\' because of the fact that it may hold a large amount of easy +handles. + +Should you change your mind, the easy handle is again removed from the multi +stack using \fIcurl_multi_remove_handle(3)\fP. Once removed from the multi +handle, you can again use other easy interface functions like +\fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP on the handle or whatever you think is necessary. + +Adding the easy handle to the multi handle does not start the transfer. +Remember that one of the main ideas with this interface is to let your +application drive. You drive the transfers by invoking +\fIcurl_multi_perform(3)\fP. libcurl will then transfer data if there is +anything available to transfer. It'll use the callbacks and everything else +you have setup in the individual easy handles. It'll transfer data on all +current transfers in the multi stack that are ready to transfer anything. It +may be all, it may be none. + +Your application can acquire knowledge from libcurl when it would like to get +invoked to transfer data, so that you don't have to busy-loop and call that +\fIcurl_multi_perform(3)\fP like crazy. \fIcurl_multi_fdset(3)\fP offers an +interface using which you can extract fd_sets from libcurl to use in select() +or poll() calls in order to get to know when the transfers in the multi stack +might need attention. This also makes it very easy for your program to wait +for input on your own private file descriptors at the same time or perhaps +timeout every now and then, should you want that. + +\fIcurl_multi_perform(3)\fP stores the number of still running transfers in +one of its input arguments, and by reading that you can figure out when all +the transfers in the multi handles are done. 'done' does not mean +successful. One or more of the transfers may have failed. Tracking when this +number changes, you know when one or more transfers are done. + +To get information about completed transfers, to figure out success or not and +similar, \fIcurl_multi_info_read(3)\fP should be called. It can return a +message about a current or previous transfer. Repeated invokes of the function +get more messages until the message queue is empty. The information you +receive there includes an easy handle pointer which you may use to identify +which easy handle the information regards. + +When a single transfer is completed, the easy handle is still left added to +the multi stack. You need to first remove the easy handle with +\fIcurl_multi_remove_handle(3)\fP and then close it with +\fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP, or possibly set new options to it and add it again +with \fIcurl_multi_add_handle(3)\fP to start another transfer. + +When all transfers in the multi stack are done, cleanup the multi handle with +\fIcurl_multi_cleanup(3)\fP. Be careful and please note that you \fBMUST\fP +invoke separate \fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP calls on every single easy handle +to clean them up properly. + +If you want to re-use an easy handle that was added to the multi handle for +transfer, you must first remove it from the multi stack and then re-add it +again (possibly after having altered some options at your own choice). +.SH "MULTI_SOCKET" +\fIcurl_multi_socket_action(3)\fP function offers a way for applications to +not only avoid being forced to use select(), but it also offers a much more +high-performance API that will make a significant difference for applications +using large numbers of simultaneous connections. + +\fIcurl_multi_socket_action(3)\fP is then used instead of +\fIcurl_multi_perform(3)\fP. + +When using this API, you add easy handles to the multi handle just as with the +normal multi interface. Then you also set two callbacks with the +CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION and CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION options to +\fIcurl_multi_setopt(3)\fP. + +The API is then designed to inform your application about which sockets +libcurl is currently using and for what activities (read and/or write) on +those sockets your application is expected to wait for. + +Your application must then make sure to receive all sockets informed about in +the CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION callback and make sure it reacts on the given +activity on them. When a socket has the given activity, you call +\fIcurl_multi_socket_action(3)\fP specifying which socket and action there +are. + +The CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION callback is called to set a timeout. When that +timeout expires, your application should call the +\fIcurl_multi_socket_action(3)\fP function saying it was due to a timeout. +.SH "BLOCKING" +A few areas in the code are still using blocking code, even when used from the +multi interface.

This way, each single +transfer will take advantage from data updates made by the other transfer(s). +.SH "SHARE OBJECT" +You create a shared object with \fIcurl_share_init(3)\fP. It returns a handle +for a newly created one. + +You tell the shared object what data you want it to share by using +\fIcurl_share_setopt(3)\fP. + +Since you can use this share from multiple threads, and libcurl has no +internal thread synchronization, you must provide mutex callbacks if you're +using this multi-threaded. You set lock and unlock functions with +\fIcurl_share_setopt(3)\fP too. + +Then, you make an easy handle to use this share, you set the +\fICURLOPT_SHARE\fP option with \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP, and pass in share +handle. You can make any number of easy handles share the same share handle. + +To make an easy handle stop using that particular share, you set +\fICURLOPT_SHARE\fP to NULL for that easy handle.

The text will focus +mainly on the C interface but might apply fairly well on other interfaces as +well as they usually follow the C one pretty closely. + +This document will refer to 'the user' as the person writing the source code +that uses libcurl. That would probably be you or someone in your position. +What will be generally referred to as 'the program' will be the collected +source code that you write that is using libcurl for transfers. The program +is outside libcurl and libcurl is outside of the program. + +To get more details on all options and functions described herein, please +refer to their respective man pages. + +.SH "Building" +There are many different ways to build C programs. This chapter will assume a +UNIX-style build process. If you use a different build system, you can still +read this to get general information that may apply to your environment as +well. +.IP "Compiling the Program" +Your compiler needs to know where the libcurl headers are located. Therefore +you must set your compiler's include path to point to the directory where you +installed them. The 'curl-config'[3] tool can be used to get this information: + +$ curl-config --cflags + +.IP "Linking the Program with libcurl" +When having compiled the program, you need to link your object files to create +a single executable. For that to succeed, you need to link with libcurl and +possibly also with other libraries that libcurl itself depends on. Like the +OpenSSL libraries, but even some standard OS libraries may be needed on the +command line. To figure out which flags to use, once again the 'curl-config' +tool comes to the rescue: + +$ curl-config --libs + +.IP "SSL or Not" +libcurl can be built and customized in many ways. One of the things that +varies from different libraries and builds is the support for SSL-based +transfers, like HTTPS and FTPS. If a supported SSL library was detected +properly at build-time, libcurl will be built with SSL support. To figure out +if an installed libcurl has been built with SSL support enabled, use +\&'curl-config' like this: + +$ curl-config --feature + +And if SSL is supported, the keyword 'SSL' will be written to stdout, +possibly together with a few other features that could be either on or off on +for different libcurls. + +See also the "Features libcurl Provides" further down. +.IP "autoconf macro" +When you write your configure script to detect libcurl and setup variables +accordingly, we offer a prewritten macro that probably does everything you +need in this area. See docs/libcurl/libcurl.m4 file - it includes docs on how +to use it. + +.SH "Portable Code in a Portable World" +The people behind libcurl have put a considerable effort to make libcurl work +on a large amount of different operating systems and environments. + +You program libcurl the same way on all platforms that libcurl runs on. There +are only very few minor considerations that differ. If you just make sure to +write your code portable enough, you may very well create yourself a very +portable program. libcurl shouldn't stop you from that. + +.SH "Global Preparation" +The program must initialize some of the libcurl functionality globally. That +means it should be done exactly once, no matter how many times you intend to +use the library. Once for your program's entire life time. This is done using + + curl_global_init() + +and it takes one parameter which is a bit pattern that tells libcurl what to +initialize. Using \fICURL_GLOBAL_ALL\fP will make it initialize all known +internal sub modules, and might be a good default option. The current two bits +that are specified are: +.RS +.IP "CURL_GLOBAL_WIN32" +which only does anything on Windows machines. When used on +a Windows machine, it'll make libcurl initialize the win32 socket +stuff. Without having that initialized properly, your program cannot use +sockets properly. You should only do this once for each application, so if +your program already does this or of another library in use does it, you +should not tell libcurl to do this as well. +.IP CURL_GLOBAL_SSL +which only does anything on libcurls compiled and built SSL-enabled. On these +systems, this will make libcurl initialize the SSL library properly for this +application. This only needs to be done once for each application so if your +program or another library already does this, this bit should not be needed. +.RE + +libcurl has a default protection mechanism that detects if +\fIcurl_global_init(3)\fP hasn't been called by the time +\fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP is called and if that is the case, libcurl runs the +function itself with a guessed bit pattern. Please note that depending solely +on this is not considered nice nor very good. + +When the program no longer uses libcurl, it should call +\fIcurl_global_cleanup(3)\fP, which is the opposite of the init call. It will +then do the reversed operations to cleanup the resources the +\fIcurl_global_init(3)\fP call initialized. + +Repeated calls to \fIcurl_global_init(3)\fP and \fIcurl_global_cleanup(3)\fP +should be avoided. They should only be called once each. + +.SH "Features libcurl Provides" +It is considered best-practice to determine libcurl features at run-time +rather than at build-time (if possible of course). By calling +\fIcurl_version_info(3)\fP and checking out the details of the returned +struct, your program can figure out exactly what the currently running libcurl +supports. + +.SH "Handle the Easy libcurl" +libcurl first introduced the so called easy interface. All operations in the +easy interface are prefixed with 'curl_easy'. + +Recent libcurl versions also offer the multi interface. More about that +interface, what it is targeted for and how to use it is detailed in a separate +chapter further down. You still need to understand the easy interface first, +so please continue reading for better understanding. + +To use the easy interface, you must first create yourself an easy handle. You +need one handle for each easy session you want to perform. Basically, you +should use one handle for every thread you plan to use for transferring. You +must never share the same handle in multiple threads. + +Get an easy handle with + + easyhandle = curl_easy_init(); + +It returns an easy handle. Using that you proceed to the next step: setting +up your preferred actions. A handle is just a logic entity for the upcoming +transfer or series of transfers. + +You set properties and options for this handle using +\fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP. They control how the subsequent transfer or +transfers will be made. Options remain set in the handle until set again to +something different. Alas, multiple requests using the same handle will use +the same options. + +Many of the options you set in libcurl are "strings", pointers to data +terminated with a zero byte. When you set strings with +\fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP, libcurl makes its own copy so that they don't +need to be kept around in your application after being set[4]. + +One of the most basic properties to set in the handle is the URL. You set +your preferred URL to transfer with CURLOPT_URL in a manner similar to: + +.nf + curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_URL, "http://domain.com/"); +.fi + +Let's assume for a while that you want to receive data as the URL identifies a +remote resource you want to get here. Since you write a sort of application +that needs this transfer, I assume that you would like to get the data passed +to you directly instead of simply getting it passed to stdout. So, you write +your own function that matches this prototype: + + size_t write_data(void *buffer, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *userp); + +You tell libcurl to pass all data to this function by issuing a function +similar to this: + + curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, write_data); + +You can control what data your callback function gets in the fourth argument +by setting another property: + + curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, &internal_struct); + +Using that property, you can easily pass local data between your application +and the function that gets invoked by libcurl. libcurl itself won't touch the +data you pass with \fICURLOPT_WRITEDATA\fP. + +libcurl offers its own default internal callback that will take care of the data +if you don't set the callback with \fICURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION\fP. It will then +simply output the received data to stdout. You can have the default callback +write the data to a different file handle by passing a 'FILE *' to a file +opened for writing with the \fICURLOPT_WRITEDATA\fP option. + +Now, we need to take a step back and have a deep breath. Here's one of those +rare platform-dependent nitpicks. Did you spot it? On some platforms[2], +libcurl won't be able to operate on files opened by the program. Thus, if you +use the default callback and pass in an open file with +\fICURLOPT_WRITEDATA\fP, it will crash. You should therefore avoid this to +make your program run fine virtually everywhere. + +(\fICURLOPT_WRITEDATA\fP was formerly known as \fICURLOPT_FILE\fP. Both names +still work and do the same thing). + +If you're using libcurl as a win32 DLL, you MUST use the +\fICURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION\fP if you set \fICURLOPT_WRITEDATA\fP - or you will +experience crashes. + +There are of course many more options you can set, and we'll get back to a few +of them later. Let's instead continue to the actual transfer: + + success = curl_easy_perform(easyhandle); + +\fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP will connect to the remote site, do the necessary +commands and receive the transfer. Whenever it receives data, it calls the +callback function we previously set. The function may get one byte at a time, +or it may get many kilobytes at once. libcurl delivers as much as possible as +often as possible. Your callback function should return the number of bytes it +\&"took care of". If that is not the exact same amount of bytes that was +passed to it, libcurl will abort the operation and return with an error code. + +When the transfer is complete, the function returns a return code that informs +you if it succeeded in its mission or not. If a return code isn't enough for +you, you can use the CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER to point libcurl to a buffer of yours +where it'll store a human readable error message as well. + +If you then want to transfer another file, the handle is ready to be used +again. Mind you, it is even preferred that you re-use an existing handle if +you intend to make another transfer. libcurl will then attempt to re-use the +previous connection. + +For some protocols, downloading a file can involve a complicated process of +logging in, setting the transfer mode, changing the current directory and +finally transferring the file data. libcurl takes care of all that +complication for you. Given simply the URL to a file, libcurl will take care +of all the details needed to get the file moved from one machine to another. + +.SH "Multi-threading Issues" +The first basic rule is that you must \fBnever\fP simultaneously share a +libcurl handle (be it easy or multi or whatever) between multiple +threads. Only use one handle in one thread at any time. You can pass the +handles around among threads, but you must never use a single handle from more +than one thread at any given time. + +libcurl is completely thread safe, except for two issues: signals and SSL/TLS +handlers. Signals are used for timing out name resolves (during DNS lookup) - +when built without c-ares support and not on Windows. + +If you are accessing HTTPS or FTPS URLs in a multi-threaded manner, you are +then of course using the underlying SSL library multi-threaded and those libs +might have their own requirements on this issue. Basically, you need to +provide one or two functions to allow it to function properly. For all +details, see this: + +OpenSSL + + http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/threads.html#DESCRIPTION + +GnuTLS + + http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/manual/html_node/Multi_002dthreaded-applications.html + +NSS + + is claimed to be thread-safe already without anything required. + +PolarSSL + + Required actions unknown. + +yassl + + Required actions unknown. + +axTLS + + Required actions unknown. + +When using multiple threads you should set the CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL option to 1 +for all handles. Everything will or might work fine except that timeouts are +not honored during the DNS lookup - which you can work around by building +libcurl with c-ares support. c-ares is a library that provides asynchronous +name resolves. On some platforms, libcurl simply will not function properly +multi-threaded unless this option is set. + +Also, note that CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE is not thread-safe. + +.SH "When It Doesn't Work" +There will always be times when the transfer fails for some reason. You might +have set the wrong libcurl option or misunderstood what the libcurl option +actually does, or the remote server might return non-standard replies that +confuse the library which then confuses your program. + +There's one golden rule when these things occur: set the CURLOPT_VERBOSE +option to 1. It'll cause the library to spew out the entire protocol +details it sends, some internal info and some received protocol data as well +(especially when using FTP). If you're using HTTP, adding the headers in the +received output to study is also a clever way to get a better understanding +why the server behaves the way it does. Include headers in the normal body +output with CURLOPT_HEADER set 1. + +Of course, there are bugs left. We need to know about them to be able +to fix them, so we're quite dependent on your bug reports! When you do report +suspected bugs in libcurl, please include as many details as you possibly can: a +protocol dump that CURLOPT_VERBOSE produces, library version, as much as +possible of your code that uses libcurl, operating system name and version, +compiler name and version etc. + +If CURLOPT_VERBOSE is not enough, you increase the level of debug data your +application receive by using the CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION. + +Getting some in-depth knowledge about the protocols involved is never wrong, +and if you're trying to do funny things, you might very well understand +libcurl and how to use it better if you study the appropriate RFC documents +at least briefly. + +.SH "Upload Data to a Remote Site" +libcurl tries to keep a protocol independent approach to most transfers, thus +uploading to a remote FTP site is very similar to uploading data to a HTTP +server with a PUT request. + +Of course, first you either create an easy handle or you re-use one existing +one. Then you set the URL to operate on just like before. This is the remote +URL, that we now will upload. + +Since we write an application, we most likely want libcurl to get the upload +data by asking us for it. To make it do that, we set the read callback and +the custom pointer libcurl will pass to our read callback. The read callback +should have a prototype similar to: + + size_t function(char *bufptr, size_t size, size_t nitems, void *userp); + +Where bufptr is the pointer to a buffer we fill in with data to upload and +size*nitems is the size of the buffer and therefore also the maximum amount +of data we can return to libcurl in this call. The 'userp' pointer is the +custom pointer we set to point to a struct of ours to pass private data +between the application and the callback. + + curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_READFUNCTION, read_function); + + curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_READDATA, &filedata); + +Tell libcurl that we want to upload: + + curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_UPLOAD, 1L); + +A few protocols won't behave properly when uploads are done without any prior +knowledge of the expected file size. So, set the upload file size using the +CURLOPT_INFILESIZE_LARGE for all known file sizes like this[1]: + +.nf + /* in this example, file_size must be an curl_off_t variable */ + curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE_LARGE, file_size); +.fi + +When you call \fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP this time, it'll perform all the +necessary operations and when it has invoked the upload it'll call your +supplied callback to get the data to upload. The program should return as much +data as possible in every invoke, as that is likely to make the upload perform +as fast as possible. The callback should return the number of bytes it wrote +in the buffer. Returning 0 will signal the end of the upload. + +.SH "Passwords" +Many protocols use or even require that user name and password are provided +to be able to download or upload the data of your choice. libcurl offers +several ways to specify them. + +Most protocols support that you specify the name and password in the URL +itself. libcurl will detect this and use them accordingly. This is written +like this: + + protocol://user:password@example.com/path/ + +If you need any odd letters in your user name or password, you should enter +them URL encoded, as %XX where XX is a two-digit hexadecimal number. + +libcurl also provides options to set various passwords. The user name and +password as shown embedded in the URL can instead get set with the +CURLOPT_USERPWD option. The argument passed to libcurl should be a char * to +a string in the format "user:password". In a manner like this: + + curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "myname:thesecret"); + +Another case where name and password might be needed at times, is for those +users who need to authenticate themselves to a proxy they use. libcurl offers +another option for this, the CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD. It is used quite similar +to the CURLOPT_USERPWD option like this: + + curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, "myname:thesecret"); + +There's a long time UNIX "standard" way of storing ftp user names and +passwords, namely in the $HOME/.netrc file. The file should be made private +so that only the user may read it (see also the "Security Considerations" +chapter), as it might contain the password in plain text. libcurl has the +ability to use this file to figure out what set of user name and password to +use for a particular host. As an extension to the normal functionality, +libcurl also supports this file for non-FTP protocols such as HTTP. To make +curl use this file, use the CURLOPT_NETRC option: + + curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_NETRC, 1L); + +And a very basic example of how such a .netrc file may look like: + +.nf + machine myhost.mydomain.com + login userlogin + password secretword +.fi + +All these examples have been cases where the password has been optional, or +at least you could leave it out and have libcurl attempt to do its job +without it. There are times when the password isn't optional, like when +you're using an SSL private key for secure transfers. + +To pass the known private key password to libcurl: + + curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD, "keypassword"); + +.SH "HTTP Authentication" +The previous chapter showed how to set user name and password for getting +URLs that require authentication. When using the HTTP protocol, there are +many different ways a client can provide those credentials to the server and +you can control which way libcurl will (attempt to) use them. The default HTTP +authentication method is called 'Basic', which is sending the name and +password in clear-text in the HTTP request, base64-encoded. This is insecure. + +At the time of this writing, libcurl can be built to use: Basic, Digest, NTLM, +Negotiate, GSS-Negotiate and SPNEGO. You can tell libcurl which one to use +with CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH as in: + + curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_DIGEST); + +And when you send authentication to a proxy, you can also set authentication +type the same way but instead with CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH: + + curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH, CURLAUTH_NTLM); + +Both these options allow you to set multiple types (by ORing them together), +to make libcurl pick the most secure one out of the types the server/proxy +claims to support. This method does however add a round-trip since libcurl +must first ask the server what it supports: + + curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, + CURLAUTH_DIGEST|CURLAUTH_BASIC); + +For convenience, you can use the 'CURLAUTH_ANY' define (instead of a list +with specific types) which allows libcurl to use whatever method it wants. + +When asking for multiple types, libcurl will pick the available one it +considers "best" in its own internal order of preference. + +.SH "HTTP POSTing" +We get many questions regarding how to issue HTTP POSTs with libcurl the +proper way. This chapter will thus include examples using both different +versions of HTTP POST that libcurl supports. + +The first version is the simple POST, the most common version, that most HTML +pages using the <form> tag uses. We provide a pointer to the data and tell +libcurl to post it all to the remote site: + +.nf + char *data="name=daniel&project=curl"; + curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, data); + curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_URL, "http://posthere.com/"); + + curl_easy_perform(easyhandle); /* post away! */ +.fi + +Simple enough, huh? Since you set the POST options with the +CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, this automatically switches the handle to use POST in the +upcoming request. + +Ok, so what if you want to post binary data that also requires you to set the +Content-Type: header of the post? Well, binary posts prevent libcurl from +being able to do strlen() on the data to figure out the size, so therefore we +must tell libcurl the size of the post data. Setting headers in libcurl +requests are done in a generic way, by building a list of our own headers and +then passing that list to libcurl. + +.nf + struct curl_slist *headers=NULL; + headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "Content-Type: text/xml"); + + /* post binary data */ + curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, binaryptr); + + /* set the size of the postfields data */ + curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE, 23L); + + /* pass our list of custom made headers */ + curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, headers); + + curl_easy_perform(easyhandle); /* post away! */ + + curl_slist_free_all(headers); /* free the header list */ +.fi + +While the simple examples above cover the majority of all cases where HTTP +POST operations are required, they don't do multi-part formposts. Multi-part +formposts were introduced as a better way to post (possibly large) binary data +and were first documented in the RFC1867 (updated in RFC2388). They're called +multi-part because they're built by a chain of parts, each part being a single +unit of data. Each part has its own name and contents. You can in fact create +and post a multi-part formpost with the regular libcurl POST support described +above, but that would require that you build a formpost yourself and provide +to libcurl. To make that easier, libcurl provides \fIcurl_formadd(3)\fP. Using +this function, you add parts to the form. When you're done adding parts, you +post the whole form. + +The following example sets two simple text parts with plain textual contents, +and then a file with binary contents and uploads the whole thing. + +.nf + struct curl_httppost *post=NULL; + struct curl_httppost *last=NULL; + curl_formadd(&post, &last, + CURLFORM_COPYNAME, "name", + CURLFORM_COPYCONTENTS, "daniel", CURLFORM_END); + curl_formadd(&post, &last, + CURLFORM_COPYNAME, "project", + CURLFORM_COPYCONTENTS, "curl", CURLFORM_END); + curl_formadd(&post, &last, + CURLFORM_COPYNAME, "logotype-image", + CURLFORM_FILECONTENT, "curl.png", CURLFORM_END); + + /* Set the form info */ + curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_HTTPPOST, post); + + curl_easy_perform(easyhandle); /* post away! */ + + /* free the post data again */ + curl_formfree(post); +.fi + +Multipart formposts are chains of parts using MIME-style separators and +headers. It means that each one of these separate parts get a few headers set +that describe the individual content-type, size etc. To enable your +application to handicraft this formpost even more, libcurl allows you to +supply your own set of custom headers to such an individual form part. You can +of course supply headers to as many parts as you like, but this little example +will show how you set headers to one specific part when you add that to the +post handle: + +.nf + struct curl_slist *headers=NULL; + headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "Content-Type: text/xml"); + + curl_formadd(&post, &last, + CURLFORM_COPYNAME, "logotype-image", + CURLFORM_FILECONTENT, "curl.xml", + CURLFORM_CONTENTHEADER, headers, + CURLFORM_END); + + curl_easy_perform(easyhandle); /* post away! */ + + curl_formfree(post); /* free post */ + curl_slist_free_all(headers); /* free custom header list */ +.fi + +Since all options on an easyhandle are "sticky", they remain the same until +changed even if you do call \fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP, you may need to tell +curl to go back to a plain GET request if you intend to do one as your +next request. You force an easyhandle to go back to GET by using the +CURLOPT_HTTPGET option: + + curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, 1L); + +Just setting CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS to "" or NULL will *not* stop libcurl from +doing a POST. It will just make it POST without any data to send! + +.SH "Showing Progress" + +For historical and traditional reasons, libcurl has a built-in progress meter +that can be switched on and then makes it present a progress meter in your +terminal. + +Switch on the progress meter by, oddly enough, setting CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS to +zero. This option is set to 1 by default. + +For most applications however, the built-in progress meter is useless and +what instead is interesting is the ability to specify a progress +callback. The function pointer you pass to libcurl will then be called on +irregular intervals with information about the current transfer. + +Set the progress callback by using CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION. And pass a +pointer to a function that matches this prototype: + +.nf + int progress_callback(void *clientp, + double dltotal, + double dlnow, + double ultotal, + double ulnow); +.fi + +If any of the input arguments is unknown, a 0 will be passed. The first +argument, the 'clientp' is the pointer you pass to libcurl with +CURLOPT_PROGRESSDATA. libcurl won't touch it. + +.SH "libcurl with C++" + +There's basically only one thing to keep in mind when using C++ instead of C +when interfacing libcurl: + +The callbacks CANNOT be non-static class member functions + +Example C++ code: + +.nf +class AClass { + static size_t write_data(void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, + void *ourpointer) + { + /* do what you want with the data */ + } + } +.fi + +.SH "Proxies" + +What "proxy" means according to Merriam-Webster: "a person authorized to act +for another" but also "the agency, function, or office of a deputy who acts as +a substitute for another". + +Proxies are exceedingly common these days. Companies often only offer Internet +access to employees through their proxies. Network clients or user-agents ask +the proxy for documents, the proxy does the actual request and then it returns +them. + +libcurl supports SOCKS and HTTP proxies. When a given URL is wanted, libcurl +will ask the proxy for it instead of trying to connect to the actual host +identified in the URL. + +If you're using a SOCKS proxy, you may find that libcurl doesn't quite support +all operations through it. + +For HTTP proxies: the fact that the proxy is a HTTP proxy puts certain +restrictions on what can actually happen. A requested URL that might not be a +HTTP URL will be still be passed to the HTTP proxy to deliver back to +libcurl. This happens transparently, and an application may not need to +know. I say "may", because at times it is very important to understand that +all operations over a HTTP proxy use the HTTP protocol. For example, you +can't invoke your own custom FTP commands or even proper FTP directory +listings. + +.IP "Proxy Options" + +To tell libcurl to use a proxy at a given port number: + + curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_PROXY, "proxy-host.com:8080"); + +Some proxies require user authentication before allowing a request, and you +pass that information similar to this: + + curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, "user:password"); + +If you want to, you can specify the host name only in the CURLOPT_PROXY +option, and set the port number separately with CURLOPT_PROXYPORT. + +Tell libcurl what kind of proxy it is with CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE (if not, it will +default to assume a HTTP proxy): + + curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, CURLPROXY_SOCKS4); + +.IP "Environment Variables" + +libcurl automatically checks and uses a set of environment variables to know +what proxies to use for certain protocols. The names of the variables are +following an ancient de facto standard and are built up as "[protocol]_proxy" +(note the lower casing). Which makes the variable \&'http_proxy' checked for a +name of a proxy to use when the input URL is HTTP. Following the same rule, +the variable named 'ftp_proxy' is checked for FTP URLs. Again, the proxies are +always HTTP proxies, the different names of the variables simply allows +different HTTP proxies to be used. + +The proxy environment variable contents should be in the format +\&"[protocol://][user:password@]machine[:port]". Where the protocol:// part is +simply ignored if present (so http://proxy and bluerk://proxy will do the +same) and the optional port number specifies on which port the proxy operates +on the host. If not specified, the internal default port number will be used +and that is most likely *not* the one you would like it to be. + +There are two special environment variables. 'all_proxy' is what sets proxy +for any URL in case the protocol specific variable wasn't set, and +\&'no_proxy' defines a list of hosts that should not use a proxy even though a +variable may say so. If 'no_proxy' is a plain asterisk ("*") it matches all +hosts. + +To explicitly disable libcurl's checking for and using the proxy environment +variables, set the proxy name to "" - an empty string - with CURLOPT_PROXY. +.IP "SSL and Proxies" + +SSL is for secure point-to-point connections. This involves strong encryption +and similar things, which effectively makes it impossible for a proxy to +operate as a "man in between" which the proxy's task is, as previously +discussed. Instead, the only way to have SSL work over a HTTP proxy is to ask +the proxy to tunnel trough everything without being able to check or fiddle +with the traffic. + +Opening an SSL connection over a HTTP proxy is therefor a matter of asking the +proxy for a straight connection to the target host on a specified port. This +is made with the HTTP request CONNECT. ("please mr proxy, connect me to that +remote host"). + +Because of the nature of this operation, where the proxy has no idea what kind +of data that is passed in and out through this tunnel, this breaks some of the +very few advantages that come from using a proxy, such as caching. Many +organizations prevent this kind of tunneling to other destination port numbers +than 443 (which is the default HTTPS port number). + +.IP "Tunneling Through Proxy" +As explained above, tunneling is required for SSL to work and often even +restricted to the operation intended for SSL; HTTPS. + +This is however not the only time proxy-tunneling might offer benefits to +you or your application. + +As tunneling opens a direct connection from your application to the remote +machine, it suddenly also re-introduces the ability to do non-HTTP +operations over a HTTP proxy. You can in fact use things such as FTP +upload or FTP custom commands this way. + +Again, this is often prevented by the administrators of proxies and is +rarely allowed. + +Tell libcurl to use proxy tunneling like this: + + curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, 1L); + +In fact, there might even be times when you want to do plain HTTP +operations using a tunnel like this, as it then enables you to operate on +the remote server instead of asking the proxy to do so. libcurl will not +stand in the way for such innovative actions either! + +.IP "Proxy Auto-Config" + +Netscape first came up with this. It is basically a web page (usually using a +\&.pac extension) with a Javascript that when executed by the browser with the +requested URL as input, returns information to the browser on how to connect +to the URL. The returned information might be "DIRECT" (which means no proxy +should be used), "PROXY host:port" (to tell the browser where the proxy for +this particular URL is) or "SOCKS host:port" (to direct the browser to a SOCKS +proxy). + +libcurl has no means to interpret or evaluate Javascript and thus it doesn't +support this. If you get yourself in a position where you face this nasty +invention, the following advice have been mentioned and used in the past: + +- Depending on the Javascript complexity, write up a script that translates it +to another language and execute that. + +- Read the Javascript code and rewrite the same logic in another language. + +- Implement a Javascript interpreter; people have successfully used the +Mozilla Javascript engine in the past. + +- Ask your admins to stop this, for a static proxy setup or similar. + +.SH "Persistence Is The Way to Happiness" + +Re-cycling the same easy handle several times when doing multiple requests is +the way to go. + +After each single \fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP operation, libcurl will keep the +connection alive and open. A subsequent request using the same easy handle to +the same host might just be able to use the already open connection! This +reduces network impact a lot. + +Even if the connection is dropped, all connections involving SSL to the same +host again, will benefit from libcurl's session ID cache that drastically +reduces re-connection time. + +FTP connections that are kept alive save a lot of time, as the command- +response round-trips are skipped, and also you don't risk getting blocked +without permission to login again like on many FTP servers only allowing N +persons to be logged in at the same time. + +libcurl caches DNS name resolving results, to make lookups of a previously +looked up name a lot faster. + +Other interesting details that improve performance for subsequent requests +may also be added in the future. + +Each easy handle will attempt to keep the last few connections alive for a +while in case they are to be used again. You can set the size of this "cache" +with the CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS option. Default is 5. There is very seldom any +point in changing this value, and if you think of changing this it is often +just a matter of thinking again. + +To force your upcoming request to not use an already existing connection (it +will even close one first if there happens to be one alive to the same host +you're about to operate on), you can do that by setting CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT +to 1. In a similar spirit, you can also forbid the upcoming request to be +"lying" around and possibly get re-used after the request by setting +CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE to 1. + +.SH "HTTP Headers Used by libcurl" +When you use libcurl to do HTTP requests, it'll pass along a series of headers +automatically. It might be good for you to know and understand these. You +can replace or remove them by using the CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER option. + +.IP "Host" +This header is required by HTTP 1.1 and even many 1.0 servers and should be +the name of the server we want to talk to. This includes the port number if +anything but default. + +.IP "Accept" +\&"*/*". + +.IP "Expect" +When doing POST requests, libcurl sets this header to \&"100-continue" to ask +the server for an "OK" message before it proceeds with sending the data part +of the post. If the POSTed data amount is deemed "small", libcurl will not use +this header. + +.SH "Customizing Operations" +There is an ongoing development today where more and more protocols are built +upon HTTP for transport. This has obvious benefits as HTTP is a tested and +reliable protocol that is widely deployed and has excellent proxy-support. + +When you use one of these protocols, and even when doing other kinds of +programming you may need to change the traditional HTTP (or FTP or...) +manners. You may need to change words, headers or various data. + +libcurl is your friend here too. + +.IP CUSTOMREQUEST +If just changing the actual HTTP request keyword is what you want, like when +GET, HEAD or POST is not good enough for you, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST is there +for you. It is very simple to use: + + curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "MYOWNREQUEST"); + +When using the custom request, you change the request keyword of the actual +request you are performing. Thus, by default you make a GET request but you can +also make a POST operation (as described before) and then replace the POST +keyword if you want to. You're the boss. + +.IP "Modify Headers" +HTTP-like protocols pass a series of headers to the server when doing the +request, and you're free to pass any amount of extra headers that you +think fit. Adding headers is this easy: + +.nf + struct curl_slist *headers=NULL; /* init to NULL is important */ + + headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "Hey-server-hey: how are you?"); + headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "X-silly-content: yes"); + + /* pass our list of custom made headers */ + curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, headers); + + curl_easy_perform(easyhandle); /* transfer http */ + + curl_slist_free_all(headers); /* free the header list */ +.fi + +\&... and if you think some of the internally generated headers, such as +Accept: or Host: don't contain the data you want them to contain, you can +replace them by simply setting them too: + +.nf + headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "Accept: Agent-007"); + headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "Host: munged.host.line"); +.fi + +.IP "Delete Headers" +If you replace an existing header with one with no contents, you will prevent +the header from being sent. For instance, if you want to completely prevent the +\&"Accept:" header from being sent, you can disable it with code similar to this: + + headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "Accept:"); + +Both replacing and canceling internal headers should be done with careful +consideration and you should be aware that you may violate the HTTP protocol +when doing so. + +.IP "Enforcing chunked transfer-encoding" + +By making sure a request uses the custom header "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" +when doing a non-GET HTTP operation, libcurl will switch over to "chunked" +upload, even though the size of the data to upload might be known. By default, +libcurl usually switches over to chunked upload automatically if the upload +data size is unknown. + +.IP "HTTP Version" + +All HTTP requests includes the version number to tell the server which version +we support. libcurl speaks HTTP 1.1 by default. Some very old servers don't +like getting 1.1-requests and when dealing with stubborn old things like that, +you can tell libcurl to use 1.0 instead by doing something like this: + + curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_0); + +.IP "FTP Custom Commands" + +Not all protocols are HTTP-like, and thus the above may not help you when +you want to make, for example, your FTP transfers to behave differently. + +Sending custom commands to a FTP server means that you need to send the +commands exactly as the FTP server expects them (RFC959 is a good guide +here), and you can only use commands that work on the control-connection +alone. All kinds of commands that require data interchange and thus need +a data-connection must be left to libcurl's own judgement. Also be aware +that libcurl will do its very best to change directory to the target +directory before doing any transfer, so if you change directory (with CWD +or similar) you might confuse libcurl and then it might not attempt to +transfer the file in the correct remote directory. + +A little example that deletes a given file before an operation: + +.nf + headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "DELE file-to-remove"); + + /* pass the list of custom commands to the handle */ + curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_QUOTE, headers); + + curl_easy_perform(easyhandle); /* transfer ftp data! */ + + curl_slist_free_all(headers); /* free the header list */ +.fi + +If you would instead want this operation (or chain of operations) to happen +_after_ the data transfer took place the option to \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP +would instead be called CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE and used the exact same way. + +The custom FTP command will be issued to the server in the same order they are +added to the list, and if a command gets an error code returned back from the +server, no more commands will be issued and libcurl will bail out with an +error code (CURLE_QUOTE_ERROR). Note that if you use CURLOPT_QUOTE to send +commands before a transfer, no transfer will actually take place when a quote +command has failed. + +If you set the CURLOPT_HEADER to 1, you will tell libcurl to get +information about the target file and output "headers" about it. The headers +will be in "HTTP-style", looking like they do in HTTP. + +The option to enable headers or to run custom FTP commands may be useful to +combine with CURLOPT_NOBODY. If this option is set, no actual file content +transfer will be performed. + +.IP "FTP Custom CUSTOMREQUEST" +If you do want to list the contents of a FTP directory using your own defined FTP +command, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST will do just that. "NLST" is the default one +for listing directories but you're free to pass in your idea of a good +alternative. + +.SH "Cookies Without Chocolate Chips" +In the HTTP sense, a cookie is a name with an associated value. A server sends +the name and value to the client, and expects it to get sent back on every +subsequent request to the server that matches the particular conditions +set. The conditions include that the domain name and path match and that the +cookie hasn't become too old. + +In real-world cases, servers send new cookies to replace existing ones to +update them. Server use cookies to "track" users and to keep "sessions". + +Cookies are sent from server to clients with the header Set-Cookie: and +they're sent from clients to servers with the Cookie: header. + +To just send whatever cookie you want to a server, you can use CURLOPT_COOKIE +to set a cookie string like this: + + curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_COOKIE, "name1=var1; name2=var2;"); + +In many cases, that is not enough. You might want to dynamically save +whatever cookies the remote server passes to you, and make sure those cookies +are then used accordingly on later requests. + +One way to do this, is to save all headers you receive in a plain file and +when you make a request, you tell libcurl to read the previous headers to +figure out which cookies to use. Set the header file to read cookies from with +CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE. + +The CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE option also automatically enables the cookie parser in +libcurl. Until the cookie parser is enabled, libcurl will not parse or +understand incoming cookies and they will just be ignored. However, when the +parser is enabled the cookies will be understood and the cookies will be kept +in memory and used properly in subsequent requests when the same handle is +used. Many times this is enough, and you may not have to save the cookies to +disk at all. Note that the file you specify to CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE doesn't have +to exist to enable the parser, so a common way to just enable the parser and +not read any cookies is to use the name of a file you know doesn't exist. + +If you would rather use existing cookies that you've previously received with +your Netscape or Mozilla browsers, you can make libcurl use that cookie file +as input. The CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE is used for that too, as libcurl will +automatically find out what kind of file it is and act accordingly. + +Perhaps the most advanced cookie operation libcurl offers, is saving the +entire internal cookie state back into a Netscape/Mozilla formatted cookie +file. We call that the cookie-jar. When you set a file name with +CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, that file name will be created and all received cookies +will be stored in it when \fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP is called. This enables +cookies to get passed on properly between multiple handles without any +information getting lost. + +.SH "FTP Peculiarities We Need" + +FTP transfers use a second TCP/IP connection for the data transfer. This is +usually a fact you can forget and ignore but at times this fact will come +back to haunt you. libcurl offers several different ways to customize how the +second connection is being made. + +libcurl can either connect to the server a second time or tell the server to +connect back to it. The first option is the default and it is also what works +best for all the people behind firewalls, NATs or IP-masquerading setups. +libcurl then tells the server to open up a new port and wait for a second +connection. This is by default attempted with EPSV first, and if that doesn't +work it tries PASV instead. (EPSV is an extension to the original FTP spec +and does not exist nor work on all FTP servers.) + +You can prevent libcurl from first trying the EPSV command by setting +CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPSV to zero. + +In some cases, you will prefer to have the server connect back to you for the +second connection. This might be when the server is perhaps behind a firewall +or something and only allows connections on a single port. libcurl then +informs the remote server which IP address and port number to connect to. +This is made with the CURLOPT_FTPPORT option. If you set it to "-", libcurl +will use your system's "default IP address". If you want to use a particular +IP, you can set the full IP address, a host name to resolve to an IP address +or even a local network interface name that libcurl will get the IP address +from. + +When doing the "PORT" approach, libcurl will attempt to use the EPRT and the +LPRT before trying PORT, as they work with more protocols. You can disable +this behavior by setting CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPRT to zero. + +.SH "Headers Equal Fun" + +Some protocols provide "headers", meta-data separated from the normal +data. These headers are by default not included in the normal data stream, +but you can make them appear in the data stream by setting CURLOPT_HEADER to +1. + +What might be even more useful, is libcurl's ability to separate the headers +from the data and thus make the callbacks differ. You can for example set a +different pointer to pass to the ordinary write callback by setting +CURLOPT_WRITEHEADER. + +Or, you can set an entirely separate function to receive the headers, by +using CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION. + +The headers are passed to the callback function one by one, and you can +depend on that fact. It makes it easier for you to add custom header parsers +etc. + +\&"Headers" for FTP transfers equal all the FTP server responses. They aren't +actually true headers, but in this case we pretend they are! ;-) + +.SH "Post Transfer Information" + + [ curl_easy_getinfo ] + +.SH "Security Considerations" + +The libcurl project takes security seriously. The library is written with +caution and precautions are taken to mitigate many kinds of risks encountered +while operating with potentially malicious servers on the Internet. It is a +powerful library, however, which allows application writers to make trade offs +between ease of writing and exposure to potential risky operations. If +used the right way, you can use libcurl to transfer data pretty safely. + +Many applications are used in closed networks where users and servers +can be trusted, but many others are used on arbitrary servers and are fed +input from potentially untrusted users. Following is a discussion about +some risks in the ways in which applications commonly use libcurl and +potential mitigations of those risks. It is by no means comprehensive, but +shows classes of attacks that robust applications should consider. The +Common Weakness Enumeration project at http://cwe.mitre.org/ is a good +reference for many of these and similar types of weaknesses of which +application writers should be aware. + +.IP "Command Lines" +If you use a command line tool (such as curl) that uses libcurl, and you give +options to the tool on the command line those options can very likely get read +by other users of your system when they use 'ps' or other tools to list +currently running processes. + +To avoid this problem, never feed sensitive things to programs using command +line options. Write them to a protected file and use the \-K option to +avoid this. + +.IP ".netrc" +\&.netrc is a pretty handy file/feature that allows you to login quickly and +automatically to frequently visited sites. The file contains passwords in +clear text and is a real security risk. In some cases, your .netrc is also +stored in a home directory that is NFS mounted or used on another network +based file system, so the clear text password will fly through your network +every time anyone reads that file! + +To avoid this problem, don't use .netrc files and never store passwords in +plain text anywhere. + +.IP "Clear Text Passwords" +Many of the protocols libcurl supports send name and password unencrypted as +clear text (HTTP Basic authentication, FTP, TELNET etc). It is very easy for +anyone on your network or a network nearby yours to just fire up a network +analyzer tool and eavesdrop on your passwords. Don't let the fact that HTTP +Basic uses base64 encoded passwords fool you. They may not look readable at a +first glance, but they very easily "deciphered" by anyone within seconds. + +To avoid this problem, use HTTP authentication methods or other protocols that +don't let snoopers see your password: HTTP with Digest, NTLM or GSS +authentication, HTTPS, FTPS, SCP, SFTP and FTP-Kerberos are a few examples. + +.IP "Redirects" +The CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION option automatically follows HTTP redirects sent +by a remote server. These redirects can refer to any kind of URL, not just +HTTP. A redirect to a file: URL would cause the libcurl to read (or write) +arbitrary files from the local filesystem. If the application returns +the data back to the user (as would happen in some kinds of CGI scripts), +an attacker could leverage this to read otherwise forbidden data (e.g. +file://localhost/etc/passwd). + +If authentication credentials are stored in the ~/.netrc file, or Kerberos +is in use, any other URL type (not just file:) that requires +authentication is also at risk. A redirect such as +ftp://some-internal-server/private-file would then return data even when +the server is password protected. + +In the same way, if an unencrypted SSH private key has been configured for +the user running the libcurl application, SCP: or SFTP: URLs could access +password or private-key protected resources, +e.g. sftp://user@some-internal-server/etc/passwd + +The CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS and CURLOPT_NETRC options can be used to +mitigate against this kind of attack. + +A redirect can also specify a location available only on the machine running +libcurl, including servers hidden behind a firewall from the attacker. +e.g. http://127.0.0.1/ or http://intranet/delete-stuff.cgi?delete=all or +tftp://bootp-server/pc-config-data + +Apps can mitigate against this by disabling CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION and +handling redirects itself, sanitizing URLs as necessary. Alternately, an +app could leave CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION enabled but set CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS +and install a CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION callback function in which addresses +are sanitized before use. + +.IP "Private Resources" +A user who can control the DNS server of a domain being passed in within +a URL can change the address of the host to a local, private address +which the libcurl application will then use. e.g. The innocuous URL +http://fuzzybunnies.example.com/ could actually resolve to the IP address +of a server behind a firewall, such as 127.0.0.1 or 10.1.2.3 +Apps can mitigate against this by setting a CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION +and checking the address before a connection. + +All the malicious scenarios regarding redirected URLs apply just as well +to non-redirected URLs, if the user is allowed to specify an arbitrary URL +that could point to a private resource. For example, a web app providing +a translation service might happily translate file://localhost/etc/passwd +and display the result. Apps can mitigate against this with the +CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS option as well as by similar mitigation techniques for +redirections. + +A malicious FTP server could in response to the PASV command return an +IP address and port number for a server local to the app running libcurl +but behind a firewall. Apps can mitigate against this by using the +CURLOPT_FTP_SKIP_PASV_IP option or CURLOPT_FTPPORT. + +.IP Uploads +When uploading, a redirect can cause a local (or remote) file to be +overwritten. Apps must not allow any unsanitized URL to be passed in +for uploads. Also, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION should not be used on uploads. +Instead, the app should handle redirects itself, sanitizing each URL first. + +.IP Authentication +Use of CURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH could cause authentication information to +be sent to an unknown second server. Apps can mitigate against this +by disabling CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION and handling redirects itself, +sanitizing where necessary. + +Use of the CURLAUTH_ANY option to CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH could result in user +name and password being sent in clear text to an HTTP server. Instead, +use CURLAUTH_ANYSAFE which ensures that the password is encrypted over +the network, or else fail the request. + +Use of the CURLUSESSL_TRY option to CURLOPT_USE_SSL could result in user +name and password being sent in clear text to an FTP server. Instead, +use CURLUSESSL_CONTROL to ensure that an encrypted connection is used or +else fail the request. + +.IP Cookies +If cookies are enabled and cached, then a user could craft a URL which +performs some malicious action to a site whose authentication is already +stored in a cookie. e.g. http://mail.example.com/delete-stuff.cgi?delete=all +Apps can mitigate against this by disabling cookies or clearing them +between requests. + +.IP "Dangerous URLs" +SCP URLs can contain raw commands within the scp: URL, which is a side effect +of how the SCP protocol is designed. e.g. +scp://user:pass@host/a;date >/tmp/test; +Apps must not allow unsanitized SCP: URLs to be passed in for downloads. + +.IP "Denial of Service" +A malicious server could cause libcurl to effectively hang by sending +a trickle of data through, or even no data at all but just keeping the TCP +connection open. This could result in a denial-of-service attack. The +CURLOPT_TIMEOUT and/or CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT options can be used to +mitigate against this. + +A malicious server could cause libcurl to effectively hang by starting to +send data, then severing the connection without cleanly closing the +TCP connection. The app could install a CURLOPT_SOCKOPTFUNCTION callback +function and set the TCP SO_KEEPALIVE option to mitigate against this. +Setting one of the timeout options would also work against this attack. + +A malicious server could cause libcurl to download an infinite amount of +data, potentially causing all of memory or disk to be filled. Setting +the CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE_LARGE option is not sufficient to guard against this. +Instead, the app should monitor the amount of data received within the +write or progress callback and abort once the limit is reached. + +A malicious HTTP server could cause an infinite redirection loop, causing a +denial-of-service. This can be mitigated by using the CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS +option. + +.IP "Arbitrary Headers" +User-supplied data must be sanitized when used in options like +CURLOPT_USERAGENT, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS and others that +are used to generate structured data. Characters like embedded carriage +returns or ampersands could allow the user to create additional headers or +fields that could cause malicious transactions. + +.IP "Server-supplied Names" +A server can supply data which the application may, in some cases, use as +a file name. The curl command-line tool does this with --remote-header-name, +using the Content-disposition: header to generate a file name. An application +could also use CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL to generate a file name from a +server-supplied redirect URL. Special care must be taken to sanitize such +names to avoid the possibility of a malicious server supplying one like +"/etc/passwd", "\autoexec.bat" or even ".bashrc". + +.IP "Server Certificates" +A secure application should never use the CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER option to +disable certificate validation. There are numerous attacks that are enabled +by apps that fail to properly validate server TLS/SSL certificates, +thus enabling a malicious server to spoof a legitimate one. HTTPS without +validated certificates is potentially as insecure as a plain HTTP connection. + +.IP "Showing What You Do" +On a related issue, be aware that even in situations like when you have +problems with libcurl and ask someone for help, everything you reveal in order +to get best possible help might also impose certain security related +risks. Host names, user names, paths, operating system specifics, etc (not to +mention passwords of course) may in fact be used by intruders to gain +additional information of a potential target. + +To avoid this problem, you must of course use your common sense. Often, you +can just edit out the sensitive data or just search/replace your true +information with faked data. + +.SH "Multiple Transfers Using the multi Interface" + +The easy interface as described in detail in this document is a synchronous +interface that transfers one file at a time and doesn't return until it is +done. + +The multi interface, on the other hand, allows your program to transfer +multiple files in both directions at the same time, without forcing you +to use multiple threads. The name might make it seem that the multi +interface is for multi-threaded programs, but the truth is almost the +reverse. The multi interface can allow a single-threaded application +to perform the same kinds of multiple, simultaneous transfers that +multi-threaded programs can perform. It allows many of the benefits +of multi-threaded transfers without the complexity of managing and +synchronizing many threads. + +To use this interface, you are better off if you first understand the basics +of how to use the easy interface. The multi interface is simply a way to make +multiple transfers at the same time by adding up multiple easy handles into +a "multi stack". + +You create the easy handles you want and you set all the options just like you +have been told above, and then you create a multi handle with +\fIcurl_multi_init(3)\fP and add all those easy handles to that multi handle +with \fIcurl_multi_add_handle(3)\fP. + +When you've added the handles you have for the moment (you can still add new +ones at any time), you start the transfers by calling +\fIcurl_multi_perform(3)\fP. + +\fIcurl_multi_perform(3)\fP is asynchronous. It will only execute as little as +possible and then return back control to your program. It is designed to never +block. + +The best usage of this interface is when you do a select() on all possible +file descriptors or sockets to know when to call libcurl again. This also +makes it easy for you to wait and respond to actions on your own application's +sockets/handles. You figure out what to select() for by using +\fIcurl_multi_fdset(3)\fP, that fills in a set of fd_set variables for you +with the particular file descriptors libcurl uses for the moment. + +When you then call select(), it'll return when one of the file handles signal +action and you then call \fIcurl_multi_perform(3)\fP to allow libcurl to do +what it wants to do. Take note that libcurl does also feature some time-out +code so we advise you to never use very long timeouts on select() before you +call \fIcurl_multi_perform(3)\fP, which thus should be called unconditionally +every now and then even if none of its file descriptors have signaled +ready. Another precaution you should use: always call +\fIcurl_multi_fdset(3)\fP immediately before the select() call since the +current set of file descriptors may change when calling a curl function. + +If you want to stop the transfer of one of the easy handles in the stack, you +can use \fIcurl_multi_remove_handle(3)\fP to remove individual easy +handles. Remember that easy handles should be \fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fPed. + +When a transfer within the multi stack has finished, the counter of running +transfers (as filled in by \fIcurl_multi_perform(3)\fP) will decrease. When +the number reaches zero, all transfers are done. + +\fIcurl_multi_info_read(3)\fP can be used to get information about completed +transfers. It then returns the CURLcode for each easy transfer, to allow you +to figure out success on each individual transfer. + +.SH "SSL, Certificates and Other Tricks" + + [ seeding, passwords, keys, certificates, ENGINE, ca certs ] + +.SH "Sharing Data Between Easy Handles" +You can share some data between easy handles when the easy interface is used, +and some data is share automatically when you use the multi interface. + +When you add easy handles to a multi handle, these easy handles will +automatically share a lot of the data that otherwise would be kept on a +per-easy handle basis when the easy interface is used. + +The DNS cache is shared between handles within a multi handle, making +subsequent name resolvings faster and the connection pool that is kept to +better allow persistent connections and connection re-use is shared. If you're +using the easy interface, you can still share these between specific easy +handles by using the share interface, see \fIlibcurl-share(3)\fP. + +Some things are never shared automatically, not within multi handles, like for +example cookies so the only way to share that is with the share interface. +.SH "Footnotes" + +.IP "[1]" +libcurl 7.10.3 and later have the ability to switch over to chunked +Transfer-Encoding in cases where HTTP uploads are done with data of an unknown +size. +.IP "[2]" +This happens on Windows machines when libcurl is built and used as a +DLL.

There are +specific man pages for each function mentioned in here. There are also the +\fIlibcurl-easy(3)\fP man page, the \fIlibcurl-multi(3)\fP man page, the +\fIlibcurl-share(3)\fP man page and the \fIlibcurl-tutorial(3)\fP man page for +in-depth understanding on how to program with libcurl. + +There are more than thirty custom bindings available that bring libcurl access +to your favourite language. Look elsewhere for documentation on those. + +libcurl has a global constant environment that you must set up and +maintain while using libcurl. This essentially means you call +\fIcurl_global_init(3)\fP at the start of your program and +\fIcurl_global_cleanup(3)\fP at the end. See GLOBAL CONSTANTS below +for details. + +To transfer files, you always set up an "easy handle" using +\fIcurl_easy_init(3)\fP, but when you want the file(s) transferred you have +the option of using the "easy" interface, or the "multi" interface. + +The easy interface is a synchronous interface with which you call +\fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP and let it perform the transfer. When it is +completed, the function returns and you can continue. More details are found in +the \fIlibcurl-easy(3)\fP man page. + +The multi interface on the other hand is an asynchronous interface, that you +call and that performs only a little piece of the transfer on each invoke. It +is perfect if you want to do things while the transfer is in progress, or +similar. The multi interface allows you to select() on libcurl action, and +even to easily download multiple files simultaneously using a single thread. See further details in the \fIlibcurl-multi(3)\fP man page. + +You can have multiple easy handles share certain data, even if they are used +in different threads. This magic is setup using the share interface, as +described in the \fIlibcurl-share(3)\fP man page. + +There is also a series of other helpful functions to use, including these: +.RS +.IP curl_version_info() +gets detailed libcurl (and other used libraries) version info +.IP curl_getdate() +converts a date string to time_t +.IP curl_easy_getinfo() +get information about a performed transfer +.IP curl_formadd() +helps building an HTTP form POST +.IP curl_formfree() +free a list built with \fIcurl_formadd(3)\fP +.IP curl_slist_append() +builds a linked list +.IP curl_slist_free_all() +frees a whole curl_slist +.RE + +.SH "LINKING WITH LIBCURL" +On unix-like machines, there's a tool named curl-config that gets installed +with the rest of the curl stuff when 'make install' is performed. + +curl-config is added to make it easier for applications to link with libcurl +and developers to learn about libcurl and how to use it. + +Run 'curl-config --libs' to get the (additional) linker options you need to +link with the particular version of libcurl you've installed. See the +\fIcurl-config(1)\fP man page for further details. + +Unix-like operating system that ship libcurl as part of their distributions +often don't provide the curl-config tool, but simply install the library and +headers in the common path for this purpose. + +.SH "LIBCURL SYMBOL NAMES" +All public functions in the libcurl interface are prefixed with 'curl_' (with +a lowercase c). You can find other functions in the library source code, but +other prefixes indicate that the functions are private and may change without +further notice in the next release. + +Only use documented functions and functionality! +.SH "PORTABILITY" +libcurl works +.B exactly +the same, on any of the platforms it compiles and builds on. +.SH "THREADS" +Never ever call curl-functions simultaneously using the same handle from +several threads. libcurl is thread-safe and can be used in any number of +threads, but you must use separate curl handles if you want to use libcurl in +more than one thread simultaneously. + +The global environment functions are not thread-safe. See GLOBAL CONSTANTS +below for details. + +.SH "PERSISTENT CONNECTIONS" +Persistent connections means that libcurl can re-use the same connection for +several transfers, if the conditions are right. + +libcurl will \fBalways\fP attempt to use persistent connections. Whenever you +use \fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP or \fIcurl_multi_perform(3)\fP, libcurl will +attempt to use an existing connection to do the transfer, and if none exists +it'll open a new one that will be subject for re-use on a possible following +call to \fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP or \fIcurl_multi_perform(3)\fP. + +To allow libcurl to take full advantage of persistent connections, you should +do as many of your file transfers as possible using the same curl handle. When +you call \fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP, all the possibly open connections held by +libcurl will be closed and forgotten. + +Note that the options set with \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP will be used on +every repeated \fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP call. + +.SH "GLOBAL CONSTANTS" +There are a variety of constants that libcurl uses, mainly through its +internal use of other libraries, which are too complicated for the +library loader to set up. Therefore, a program must call a library +function after the program is loaded and running to finish setting up +the library code. For example, when libcurl is built for SSL +capability via the GNU TLS library, there is an elaborate tree inside +that library that describes the SSL protocol. + +\fIcurl_global_init()\fP is the function that you must call. This may +allocate resources (e.g. the memory for the GNU TLS tree mentioned +above), so the companion function \fIcurl_global_cleanup()\fP releases +them. + +The basic rule for constructing a program that uses libcurl is this: +Call \fIcurl_global_init()\fP, with a \fICURL_GLOBAL_ALL\fP argument, +immediately after the program starts, while it is still only one +thread and before it uses libcurl at all. Call +\fIcurl_global_cleanup()\fP immediately before the program exits, when +the program is again only one thread and after its last use of +libcurl. + +You can call both of these multiple times, as long as all calls meet +these requirements and the number of calls to each is the same. + +It isn't actually required that the functions be called at the beginning +and end of the program -- that's just usually the easiest way to do it. +It \fIis\fP required that the functions be called when no other thread +in the program is running. + +These global constant functions are \fInot thread safe\fP, so you must +not call them when any other thread in the program is running. It +isn't good enough that no other thread is using libcurl at the time, +because these functions internally call similar functions of other +libraries, and those functions are similarly thread-unsafe. You can't +generally know what these libraries are, or whether other threads are +using them. + +The global constant situation merits special consideration when the +code you are writing to use libcurl is not the main program, but rather +a modular piece of a program, e.g. another library. As a module, +your code doesn't know about other parts of the program -- it doesn't +know whether they use libcurl or not. And its code doesn't necessarily +run at the start and end of the whole program. + +A module like this must have global constant functions of its own, +just like \fIcurl_global_init()\fP and \fIcurl_global_cleanup()\fP. +The module thus has control at the beginning and end of the program +and has a place to call the libcurl functions. Note that if multiple +modules in the program use libcurl, they all will separately call the +libcurl functions, and that's OK because only the first +\fIcurl_global_init()\fP and the last \fIcurl_global_cleanup()\fP in a +program change anything. (libcurl uses a reference count in static +memory). + +In a C++ module, it is common to deal with the global constant +situation by defining a special class that represents the global +constant environment of the module. A program always has exactly one +object of the class, in static storage. That way, the program +automatically calls the constructor of the object as the program +starts up and the destructor as it terminates. As the author of this +libcurl-using module, you can make the constructor call +\fIcurl_global_init()\fP and the destructor call +\fIcurl_global_cleanup()\fP and satisfy libcurl's requirements without +your user having to think about it. + +\fIcurl_global_init()\fP has an argument that tells what particular +parts of the global constant environment to set up. In order to +successfully use any value except \fICURL_GLOBAL_ALL\fP (which says to +set up the whole thing), you must have specific knowledge of internal +workings of libcurl and all other parts of the program of which it is +part. + +A special part of the global constant environment is the identity of +the memory allocator. \fIcurl_global_init()\fP selects the system +default memory allocator, but you can use \fIcurl_global_init_mem()\fP +to supply one of your own. However, there is no way to use +\fIcurl_global_init_mem()\fP in a modular program -- all modules in +the program that might use libcurl would have to agree on one +allocator. + +There is a failsafe in libcurl that makes it usable in simple +situations without you having to worry about the global constant +environment at all: \fIcurl_easy_init()\fP sets up the environment +itself if it hasn't been done yet. The resources it acquires to do so +get released by the operating system automatically when the program +exits. + +This failsafe feature exists mainly for backward compatibility because +there was a time when the global functions didn't exist. Because it +is sufficient only in the simplest of programs, it is not recommended +for any program to rely on it. diff --git a/docs/libcurl/libcurl.m4 b/docs/libcurl/libcurl.m4 new file mode 100644 index 000000000..d7d5a5259 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/libcurl/libcurl.m4 @@ -0,0 +1,251 @@ +# LIBCURL_CHECK_CONFIG ([DEFAULT-ACTION], [MINIMUM-VERSION], +# [ACTION-IF-YES], [ACTION-IF-NO]) +# ---------------------------------------------------------- +# David Shaw <dshaw@jabberwocky.com> May-09-2006 +# +# Checks for libcurl.
