7.9.6-pre5

                               History of Changes

Daniel (12 April 2002)

- Fixed the TIMER_CONNECT to be more accurate for FTP transfers. Previously

  FTP transfers got the "connect done" time set after the initial FTP commands

  and not directly after the TCP/IP connect as it should.

  I also made the time stamp get set even if the connect itself fails, which

  it didn't do previously.

- Jean-Philippe Barrette-LaPierre provided his patch that introduces

  CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION and CURLOPT_DEBUGDATA. They allow a program to a set a

  callback to receive debug/information data. That includes headers and data

  that is received and sent.

  that is received and sent. CURLOPT_VERBOSE still controls it.

  By default, there is an internal debugfunction that will make things look

  and work as before if not changed.

.SH NAME

curl_easy_setopt - Set curl easy-session options

.SH SYNOPSIS

\fIcurl_easy_duphandle(3)\fP call.

.SH OPTIONS

The options are listed in a sort of random order, but you'll figure it out!

.TP 0.8i

.TP 0.4i

.B CURLOPT_FILE

Data pointer to pass to the file write function. Note that if you specify the

\fICURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION\fP, this is the pointer you'll get as input. If you

Pass a long. If the value is non-zero, it tells curl to use a global DNS cache

that will survive between easy handles creations and deletions. This is not

thread-safe and this will use a global varible. (Added in libcurl 7.9.3)

.TP

.B CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION

Function pointer that should match the following prototype: \fIint

curl_debug_callback (CURL *, curl_infotype, char *, size_t, void *);\fP

This function will receive debug information if CURLOPT_VERBOSE is

enabled. The curl_infotype argument specifies what kind of information it

is. This funtion must return 0.

.TP

.B CURLOPT_DEBUGDATA

Pass a pointer to whatever you want passed in to your CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION in

the last void * argument. This pointer is not used by libcurl, it is only

passed to the callback.

.PP

.SH RETURN VALUE

CURLE_OK (zero) means that the option was set properly, non-zero means an

error occurred as \fI<curl/curl.h>\fP defines.

error occurred as \fI<curl/curl.h>\fP defines. See the \fIlibcurl-errors.3\fP

man page for the full list with descriptions.
