  5.2 How can I receive all data into a large memory chunk?

  5.3 How do I fetch multiple files with libcurl?

  5.4 Does libcurl do Winsock initing on win32 systems?

  5.5 Does CURLOPT_FILE and CURLOPT_INFILE work on win32 ?

  5.5 Does CURLOPT_WRITEDATA and CURLOPT_READDATA work on win32 ?

  5.6 What about Keep-Alive or persistent connections?

  5.7 Link errors when building libcurl on Windows!

  Yes, if told to in the curl_global_init() call.

  5.5 Does CURLOPT_FILE and CURLOPT_INFILE work on win32 ?

  5.5 Does CURLOPT_WRITEDATA and CURLOPT_READDATA work on win32 ?

  Yes, but you cannot open a FILE * and pass the pointer to a DLL and have

  that DLL use the FILE *. If you set CURLOPT_FILE you must also use

  CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION as well to set a function that writes the file, even

  if that simply writes the data to the specified FILE*. Similarly, if you use

  CURLOPT_INFILE you must also specify CURLOPT_READFUNCTION.

  that DLL use the FILE * (as the DLL and the client application cannot access

  each others' variable memory areas). If you set CURLOPT_WRITEDATA you must

  also use CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION as well to set a function that writes the

  file, even if that simply writes the data to the specified FILE *.

  Similarly, if you use CURLOPT_READDATA you must also specify

  CURLOPT_READFUNCTION.
