* Since USERPWD always override the user and password specified in URLs, we
might need another way to specify user+password for anonymous ftp logins.
* The FTP code should get a way of returning errors that is known to still
have the control connection alive and sound. Currently, a returned error
from within ftp-functions does not tell if the control connection is still
OK to use or not. This causes libcurl to fail to re-use connections
slightly too often.

libcurl-easy \- easy interface overview
.SH DESCRIPTION
When using libcurl's "easy" interface you init your session and get a handle
(often referred to as an "easy handle" in various docs and sources), which you
use as input to the easy interface functions you use. Use
\fIcurl_easy_init(3)\fP to get the handle.

call and that performs only a little piece of the transfer on each invoke. It
is perfect if you want to do things while the transfer is in progress, or
similar. The multi interface allows you to select() on libcurl action, and
even to easily download multiple files simultaneously using a single thread.
even to easily download multiple files simultaneously using a single thread. See further deails in the \fIlibcurl-multi(3)\fP man page.
You can have multiple easy handles share certain data, even if they are used
in different threads. This magic is setup using the share interface, as
described in the \fIlibcurl-share(3)\fP man page.

.SH "LINKING WITH LIBCURL"

Unix-like operating system that ship libcurl as part of their distributions
often don't provide the curl-config tool, but simply install the library and
headers in the common path for this purpose.
For details, see the curl-config.1 man page.
.SH "LIBCURL SYMBOL NAMES"
All public functions in the libcurl interface are prefixed with 'curl_' (with
a lowercase c). You can find other functions in the library source code, but
other prefixes indicate the functions are private and may change without
