You make the write callback (or progress callback) return an error and
|
||||
libcurl will then abort the transfer.

5.12 Can I make libcurl fake or hide my real IP address?
|
||||
|

No. libcurl operates on a higher level than so. Besides, faking IP address
|
||||
would imply sending IP packages with a made-up source address, and then you
|
||||
normally get a problem with intercepting the packages sent back as they
|
||||
would then not be routed to you!
|
||||
|
||||
If you use a proxy to access remote sites, the sites will not see your local
|
||||
IP address but instead the address of the proxy.
|
||||
|
||||
Also note that on many networks NATs or other IP-munging techniques are used
|
||||
that makes you see and use a different IP address locally than what the
|
||||
remote server will see you coming from.
