|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
curl_easy_send - sends raw data over an "easy" connection
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B #include <curl/easy.h>
|
|
.sp
|
|
.BI "CURLcode curl_easy_send( CURL *" curl ", const void *" buffer ","
|
|
.BI " size_t " buflen ", size_t *" n ");"
|

.ad
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This function sends arbitrary data over the established connection. You may
|
|
use it together with \fIcurl_easy_recv(3)\fP to implement custom protocols
|
|
using libcurl. This functionality can be particularly useful if you use
|
|
proxies and/or SSL encryption: libcurl will take care of proxy negotiation and
|
|
connection set-up.
|
|
|
|
\fBbuffer\fP is a pointer to the data of length \fBbuflen\fP that you want sent.
|
|
The variable \fBn\fP points to will receive the number of sent bytes.
|
|
|
|
To establish the connection, set \fBCURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY(3)\fP option before
|
|
calling \fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP. Note that \fIcurl_easy_send(3)\fP will not
|
|
work on connections that were created without this option.
|
|
|
|
You must ensure that the socket is writable before calling
|
|
\fIcurl_easy_send(3)\fP, otherwise the call will return \fBCURLE_AGAIN\fP -
|
|
the socket is used in non-blocking mode internally. Use
|
|
\fIcurl_easy_getinfo(3)\fP with \fBCURLINFO_LASTSOCKET\fP to obtain the
|
|
socket; use your operating system facilities like \fIselect(2)\fP to check if
|
|
it can be written to.
|
|
.SH AVAILABILITY
|
|
Added in 7.18.2.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
On success, returns \fBCURLE_OK\fP and stores the number of bytes actually
|
|
sent into \fB*n\fP. Note that this may very well be less than the amount you
|
|
wanted to send.
|
|
|
|
On failure, returns the appropriate error code.
|
|
|
|
If there's no socket available to use from the previous transfer, this function
|
|
returns CURLE_UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL.
|
|
.SH EXAMPLE
|
|
See \fBsendrecv.c\fP in \fBdocs/examples\fP directory for usage example.
