- Introducing curl_easy_send() and curl_easy_recv(). They can be used to send

  and receive data over a connection previously setup with curl_easy_perform()
  and its CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY option. The sendrecv.c example was added to
  show how they can be used.

+.TH curl_easy_recv 3 "29 April 2008" "libcurl 7.18.2" "libcurl Manual"
+.SH NAME
+curl_easy_recv - receives raw data on an "easy" connection
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B #include <curl/easy.h>
+.sp
+.BI "CURLcode curl_easy_recv( CURL *" curl ", void *" buffer ","
+.BI "size_t " buflen ", size_t *" n ");"
+.ad
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This function receives raw data from the established connection. You may use
+it together with \fIcurl_easy_send(3)\fP to implement custom protocols using
+libcurl. This functionality can be particularly useful if you use proxies
+and/or SSL encryption: libcurl will take care of proxy negotiation and
+connection set-up.
+
+\fBbuffer\fP is a pointer to your buffer that will get the received
+data. \fBbuflen\fP is the maximum amount of data you can get in that
+buffer. The variable \fBn\fP points to will receive the number of received
+bytes.
+
+To establish the connection, set \fBCURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY\fP option before
+calling \fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP. Note that \fIcurl_easy_recv(3)\fP does not
+work on connections that were created without this option.
+
+You must ensure that the socket has data to read before calling
+\fIcurl_easy_recv(3)\fP, otherwise the call will return \fBCURLE_AGAIN\fP -
+the socket is used in non-blocking mode internally. Use
+\fIcurl_easy_getinfo(3)\fP with \fBCURLINFO_LASTSOCKET\fP to obtain the
+socket; use your operating system facilities like \fIselect(2)\fP to check if
+it has any data you can read.
+.SH AVAILABILITY
+Added in 7.18.2.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success, returns \fBCURLE_OK\fP, stores the received data into
+\fBbuffer\fP, and the number of bytes it actually read into \fB*n\fP.
+
+On failure, returns the appropriate error code.
+
+If there is no data to read, the function returns \fBCURLE_AGAIN\fP. Use
+your operating system facilities to wait until the data is ready, and retry.
+.SH EXAMPLE
+See \fBsendrecv.c\fP in \fBdocs/examples\fP directory for usage example.

+.SH NAME
+curl_easy_send - sends raw data over an "easy" connection 
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B #include <curl/easy.h>
+.sp
+.BI "CURLcode curl_easy_send( CURL *" curl ", const void *" buffer ","
+.BI " size_t " buflen ", size_t *" n ");"

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This function sends arbitrary data over the established connection. You may
+use it together with \fIcurl_easy_recv(3)\fP to implement custom protocols
+using libcurl. This functionality can be particularly useful if you use
+proxies and/or SSL encryption: libcurl will take care of proxy negotiation and

+
+\fBbuffer\fP is a pointer to the data of length \fBbuflen\fP that you want sent.

+To establish the connection, set \fBCURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY\fP option before
+calling \fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP. Note that \fIcurl_easy_send(3)\fP will not
+work on connections that were created without this option.
+
+You must ensure that the socket is writable before calling
+\fIcurl_easy_send(3)\fP, otherwise the call will return \fBCURLE_AGAIN\fP -
+the socket is used in non-blocking mode internally. Use
+\fIcurl_easy_getinfo(3)\fP with \fBCURLINFO_LASTSOCKET\fP to obtain the
+socket; use your operating system facilities like \fIselect(2)\fP to check if

+.SH AVAILABILITY
+Added in 7.18.2.

+On success, returns \fBCURLE_OK\fP and stores the number of bytes actually
