 The interface is meant to be very simple for very simple

 implementations. Thus, we have minimized the number of entries.

Main Operations

The Easy Interface

 You INIT the lib

 When using the easy interface, you init your easy-session and get a handle,

 which you use as input to the following interface functions you use.

 You SET OPTIONS you want the lib to use.

 You continue be setting all the options you want in the upcoming transfer,

 most important among them is the URL itself. You might want to set some

 callbacks as well that will be called from the library when data is available

 etc.

 You tell the lib to PERFORM the transfer.

 When all is setup, you tell libcurl to perform the transfer. It will then do

 the entire operation and won't return until it is done or failed.

 You CLEAN UP the lib

 After the performance is made, you cleanup the easy-session's handle and

 libcurl is entire off the hook!
