Re: libCurl in C

[Fabian Ischia <fischia@somanetworks.com>]

You have to set a write function that will be called when curl receives 
the data. You can do whatever you want with the raw info retrieved by 
the funciton

........
curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, write_data);
..........


size_t write_data(void *buffer, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *userp)
{
    char *data;

    fprintf(stderr, "Allocating %ld * %ld = %ld\n", (long)size, 
(long)nmemb, (long)(size * nmemb));
    data = calloc(size, nmemb);
    if(!data)
        return -1;
    fprintf(stderr, "Allocation succeeded\n");

    memcpy(data, buffer, size * nmemb);

    return size * nmemb;
}
