error codes in libcurl

|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
This man page includes most, if not all, available error codes in libcurl.
|
|
|
|
Why they occur and possibly what you can do to fix the problem.
|
|
|
|
.SH "CURLcode"
|
|
|
|
Almost all "easy" interface functions return a CURLcode error code. No matter
|
|
|
|
what, using \fICURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER\fP is a good idea as it will give you a
|
|
|
|
human readable error string that may offer more details about the error cause
|
2002-04-10 14:08:50 -04:00
|
|
|
than just the error code does.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This man page is meant to describe libcurl 7.9.6 and later. Earlier versions
|
|
|
|
might have had quirks not mentioned here.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CURLcode is one of the following:

.TP

|
|
|
.B CURLE_UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL (1)
|
|
|
|
The URL you passed to libcurl used a protocol that this libcurl does not
|
|
|
|
support. The support might be a compile-time option that you didn't use, it
|
|
|
|
can be a misspelled protocol string or just a protocol libcurl has no code
|
|
|
|
for.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
.B CURLE_FAILED_INIT (2)
|
|
|

Very early initialization code failed. This is likely to be an internal error
|
|
|
|
or problem.

|
|
|
.TP
|

|
|
.B CURLE_URL_MALFORMAT (3)

.TP
|
|
|
|
.B CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_SERVER_REPLY (8)
|
|
|
|
After connecting to a FTP server, libcurl expects to get a certain reply back.
|
|
|
|
This error code implies that it god a strange or bad reply. The given remote
|
|
|
|
server is probably not an OK FTP server.

|
|
|
.B CURLE_FTP_ACCESS_DENIED (9)

|
.TP
|
|
|
|
.B CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_PASS_REPLY (11)
|
|
|
|
After having sent the FTP password to the server, libcurl expects a proper
|
|
|
|
reply. This error code indicates that an unexpected code was returned.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
.B CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_USER_REPLY (12)
|
|
|
|
After having sent user name to the FTP server, libcurl expects a proper

|
|
.B CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_PASV_REPLY (13)
|
|
|
|
libcurl failed to get a sensible result back from the server as a response to
|
|

either a PASV or a EPSV command. The server is flawed.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
.B CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_227_FORMAT (14)
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
.B CURLE_PARTIAL_FILE (18)
|
|
|
|
A file transfer was shorter or larger than expected. This happens when the
|
|
|
|
server first reports an expected transfer size, and then delivers data that
|
|
|
|
doesn't match the previously given size.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
.B CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_RETR_FILE (19)

|
|
|
.B CURLE_HTTP_NOT_FOUND (22)
|
|
|
|
This is returned if CURLOPT_FAILONERROR is set TRUE and the HTTP server
|
|
|
|
returns an error code that is >= 400.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
.B CURLE_WRITE_ERROR (23)

2002-04-10 14:08:50 -04:00

|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
.B CURLE_READ_ERROR (26)
|
2002-04-10 14:08:50 -04:00

|
|
|
|
callback.
|
2002-04-10 09:24:45 -04:00
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
.B CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY (27)
|
|
|
|
Out of memory. A memory allocation request failed. This is serious badness and
|
|
|
|
things are severly screwed up if this ever occur.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
.B CURLE_OPERATION_TIMEOUTED (28)
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
.B CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_USE_REST (31)
|

sane.

|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
.B CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_GET_SIZE (32)
|
|
|
|
The FTP SIZE command returned errror. SIZE is not a kosher FTP command, it is
|
|
|
|
an extension and not all servers support it. This is not a surprising error.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
.B CURLE_HTTP_RANGE_ERROR (33)
|
|
|
|
The HTTP server does not support or accept range requests.

|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
.B CURLE_SSL_CONNECT_ERROR (35)
|
|
|
|
A problem occured somewhere in the SSL/TLS handshake. You really want the
|
|
|
|
error buffer and read the message there as it pinpoints the problem slightly
|
|
|
|
more. Could be certificates (file formats, paths, permissions), passwords, and
|
|
|
|
others.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
.B CURLE_FTP_BAD_DOWNLOAD_RESUME (36)

|
.TP
|
|
|
|
.B CURLE_FILE_COULDNT_READ_FILE (37)
|
|
|
|
A file given with FILE:// couldn't be opened. Most likely because the file
|
|
|
|
path doesn't identify an existing file. Did you check file permissions?
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
.B CURLE_LDAP_CANNOT_BIND (38)
|
|
|
|

|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
.B CURLE_BAD_PASSWORD_ENTERED (46)
|
|
|
|
Bad password entered. An error was signaled when the password was
|
|
|
|
entered. This can also be the result of a "bad password" returned from a
|
|
|
|
specified password callback.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
.B CURLE_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS (47)
