There's basically only one thing to keep in mind when using C++ instead of C when interfacing libcurl: - "The Callbacks Must Be Plain C" +The callbacks CANNOT be non-static class member functions -So if you want a write callback set in libcurl, you should put it within -\&'extern'. Similar to this: +Example C++ code: .nf - extern "C" { - size_t write_data(void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, - void *ourpointer) +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 -This will of course effectively turn the callback code into C.
