5.17 Can I write a server with libcurl?
No. libcurl offers no functions or building blocks to build any kind of
internet protocol server. libcurl is only a client-side library. For server
libraries, you need to continue your search elsewhere but there exist many
good open source ones out there for most protocols you could possibly want a
server for. And there are really good stand-alone ones that have been tested
and proven for many years. There's no need for you to reinvent them!
