If you're using the multi interface, you also stop a transfer by removing
the particular easy handle from the multi stack.
5.14 Using C++ non-static functions for callbacks?
libcurl is a C library, it doesn't know anything about C++ member functions.
You can overcome this "limitation" with a relative ease using a static
member function that is passed a pointer to the class:
// f is the pointer to your object.
static YourClass::staticFunction(void *buffer, size_t sz, size_t n, void *f)
{
// Call non-static member function.
static_cast<YourClass*>(f)->nonStaticFunction();
}
// This is how you pass pointer to the static function:
curl_easy_setopt(hcurl, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, YourClass:staticFunction);
curl_easy_setopt(hcurl, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, this);
