From 514592b89207e83d13b5a4e79bc247aa6f74c4b7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Stenberg Date: Mon, 12 May 2008 21:43:24 +0000 Subject: - 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. --- docs/libcurl/curl_easy_send.3 | 65 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 65 insertions(+) create mode 100644 docs/libcurl/curl_easy_send.3 (limited to 'docs/libcurl/curl_easy_send.3') diff --git a/docs/libcurl/curl_easy_send.3 b/docs/libcurl/curl_easy_send.3 new file mode 100644 index 000000000..60a97b29d --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/libcurl/curl_easy_send.3 @@ -0,0 +1,65 @@ +.\" ************************************************************************** +.\" * _ _ ____ _ +.\" * Project ___| | | | _ \| | +.\" * / __| | | | |_) | | +.\" * | (__| |_| | _ <| |___ +.\" * \___|\___/|_| \_\_____| +.\" * +.\" * Copyright (C) 1998 - 2008, Daniel Stenberg, , et al. +.\" * +.\" * This software is licensed as described in the file COPYING, which +.\" * you should have received as part of this distribution.

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 +connection set-up. + +\fBbuffer\fP is a pointer to the data of length \fBbuflen\fP that you want sent. +The variable \fBn\fP points to will receive the number of sent bytes. + +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 +it can be written to. +.SH AVAILABILITY +Added in 7.18.2. +.SH RETURN VALUE +On success, returns \fBCURLE_OK\fP and stores the number of bytes actually +sent into \fB*n\fP. Note that this may very well be less than the amount you +wanted to send. + +On failure, returns the appropriate error code. +.SH EXAMPLE +See \fBsendrecv.c\fP in \fBdocs/examples\fP directory for usage example. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR curl_easy_setopt "(3), " curl_easy_perform "(3), " curl_easy_getinfo "(3), " +.BR curl_easy_recv "(3) " -- cgit v1.2.3
