Let the function return first before invoking it another time. If you want parallel transfers, you must use several curl easy_handles. +A network transfer moves data to a peer or from a peer. An application tells +libcurl how to receive data by setting the \fICURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION(3)\fP and +\fICURLOPT_WRITEDATA(3)\fP options. To tell libcurl what data to send, there +are a few more alternatives but two common ones are +\fICURLOPT_READFUNCTION(3)\fP and \fICURLOPT_POSTFIELDS(3)\fP. + While the \fBeasy_handle\fP is added to a multi handle, it cannot be used by \fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP. .SH EXAMPLE |
