.TH curl_easy_send 3 "29 April 2008" "libcurl" "libcurl"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
curl_easy_send - sends raw data over an "easy" connection
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.nf
|
|
#include <curl/easy.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_send(CURL *curl, const void *buffer,
|
|
size_t buflen, size_t *n);
|
|
.fi
|
|
.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
|
|
connection setup.
|
|
|
|
\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 \fICURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY(3)\fP option before
|
|
calling \fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP or \fIcurl_multi_perform(3)\fP. Note that
|
|
\fIcurl_easy_send(3)\fP will not work on connections that were created without
|
|
this option.
|
|
|
|
The call will return \fBCURLE_AGAIN\fP if it's not possible to send data right
|
|
now - the socket is used in non-blocking mode internally. When
|
|
\fBCURLE_AGAIN\fP is returned, use your operating system facilities like
|
|
\fIselect(2)\fP to wait until the socket is writable. The socket may be
|
|
obtained using \fIcurl_easy_getinfo(3)\fP with \fICURLINFO_ACTIVESOCKET(3)\fP.
|
|
|
|
Furthermore if you wait on the socket and it tells you it's writable,
|
|
\fIcurl_easy_send(3)\fP may return \fBCURLE_AGAIN\fP if the only data that was
|
|
sent was for internal SSL processing, and no other data could be sent.
|
|
.SH EXAMPLE
|
|
.nf
|
|
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
|
|
/* Do not do the transfer - only connect to host */
|
|
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY, 1L);
|
|
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
|
|
|
|
if(res == CURLE_OK) {
|
|
/* Extract the socket from the curl handle -
|
|
we will need it for waiting. */
|
|
res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_ACTIVESOCKET, &sockfd);
|
|
|
|
/* send data */
|
|
res = curl_easy_send(curl, "hello", 5, &sent);
|
|
}
|
|
.fi
|
|
.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 be less than the amount you wanted to
|
|
send.
|
|
|
|
On failure, returns the appropriate error code.
|
|
|
|
This function may return \fBCURLE_AGAIN\fP. In this case, use your operating
|
|
system facilities to wait until the socket is writable, and retry.
|
|
|
|
If there's no socket available to use from the previous transfer, this function
|
|
returns \fBCURLE_UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL\fP.
