You can control what data your function get in the forth argument by setting
|
||||
another property:
|
||||
|
||||
curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_FILE, &internal_struct);
|
||||
curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, &internal_struct);
|
||||
|
||||
Using that property, you can easily pass local data between your application
|
||||
and the function that gets invoked by libcurl. libcurl itself won't touch the
|
||||
data you pass with CURLOPT_FILE.
|
||||
data you pass with CURLOPT_WRITEDATA.
|
||||
|
||||
libcurl offers its own default internal callback that'll take care of the data
|
||||
if you don't set the callback with CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION. It will then simply
|
||||
output the received data to stdout. You can have the default callback write
|
||||
the data to a different file handle by passing a 'FILE *' to a file opened for
|
||||
writing with the CURLOPT_FILE option.
|
||||
writing with the CURLOPT_WRITEDATA option.
|

|
||||
Now, we need to take a step back and have a deep breath. Here's one of those
|
||||
rare platform-dependent nitpicks. Did you spot it? On some platforms[2],
|
||||
libcurl won't be able to operate on files opened by the program. Thus, if you
|
||||
use the default callback and pass in a an open file with CURLOPT_FILE, it will
|
||||
crash. You should therefore avoid this to make your program run fine virtually
|
||||
everywhere.

|

|

(CURLOPT_WRITEDATA was formerly known as CURLOPT_FILE. Both names still work

and do the same thing).
|

|

There are of course many more options you can set, and we'll get back to a few
|
||||
of them later. Let's instead continue to the actual transfer:
