  6.1 I have a GPL program, can I use the libcurl library?

  that makes you see and use a different IP address locally than what the

  remote server will see you coming from.

  5.13 How do I stop an ongoing transfer?

  There are several ways, but none of them are instant. There is no function

  you can call from another thread or similar that will stop it immediately.

  Instead you need to make sure that one of the callbacks you use return an

  appropriate value that will stop the transfer.

  Suitable callbacks that you can do this with include the progress callback,

  the read callback and the write callback.

  If you're using the multi interface, you also stop a transfer by removing

  the particular easy handle from the multi stack.
