.TH curl_easy_setopt 3 "19 Apr 2006" "libcurl 7.15.4" "libcurl Manual"

.SH NAME

curl_easy_setopt \- set options for a curl easy handle

.SH SYNOPSIS

Data pointer to pass to the ssl context callback set by the option

\fICURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION\fP, this is the pointer you'll get as third

parameter, otherwise \fBNULL\fP. (Added in 7.11.0)

.IP CURLOPT_CONV_TO_NETWORK_FUNCTION

.IP CURLOPT_CONV_FROM_NETWORK_FUNCTION

.IP CURLOPT_CONV_FROM_UTF8_FUNCTION

Function pointers that should match the following prototype: CURLcode

function(char *ptr, size_t length);

These three options apply to non-ASCII platforms only.  They are available

only if \fBCURL_DOES_CONVERSIONS\fP was defined when libcurl was built. When

this is the case, \fIcurl_version_info(3)\fP will return the CURL_VERSION_CONV

feature bit set.

The data to be converted is in a buffer pointed to by the ptr parameter.  The

amount of data to convert is indicated by the length parameter.  The converted

data overlays the input data in the buffer pointed to by the ptr parameter.

CURLE_OK should be returned upon successful conversion.  A CURLcode return

value defined by curl.h, such as CURLE_CONV_FAILED, should be returned if an

error was encountered.

\fBCURLOPT_CONV_TO_NETWORK_FUNCTION\fP and

\fBCURLOPT_CONV_FROM_NETWORK_FUNCTION\fP convert between the host encoding and

the network encoding.  They are used when commands or ASCII data are

sent/received over the network.

\fBCURLOPT_CONV_FROM_UTF8_FUNCTION\fP is called to convert from UTF8 into the

host encoding.  It is required only for SSL processing.

If you set a callback pointer to NULL, or don't set it at all, the built-in

libcurl iconv functions will be used.  If HAVE_ICONV was not defined when

libcurl was built, and no callback has been established, conversion will

return the CURLE_CONV_REQD error code.

If HAVE_ICONV is defined, CURL_ICONV_CODESET_OF_HOST must also be defined.

For example:

 \&#define CURL_ICONV_CODESET_OF_HOST "IBM-1047"

The iconv code in libcurl will default the network and UTF8 codeset names as

follows:

 \&#define CURL_ICONV_CODESET_OF_NETWORK "ISO8859-1"

 \&#define CURL_ICONV_CODESET_FOR_UTF8   "UTF-8"

You will need to override these definitions if they are different on your

system.

.SH ERROR OPTIONS

.IP CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER

Pass a char * to a buffer that the libcurl may store human readable error

.TH curl_version_info 3 "11 Mar 2005" "libcurl 7.13.2" "libcurl Manual"

.TH curl_version_info 3 "19 Apr 2006" "libcurl 7.15.4" "libcurl Manual"

.SH NAME

curl_version_info - returns run-time libcurl version info

.SH SYNOPSIS

makes libcurl use Windows-provided functions for NTLM authentication. It also

allows libcurl to use the current user and the current user's password without

the app having to pass them on. (Added in 7.13.2)

.IP CURL_VERSION_CONV

libcurl was built with support for character conversions, as provided by the

CUURLOPT_CONV_* callbacks. (Added in 7.15.4)

.RE

\fIssl_version\fP is an ascii string for the OpenSSL version used. If libcurl

has no SSL support, this is NULL.
