curl_easy_cleanup(atom curl) |
Description: |
End a libcurl easy session.
This procedure must be the last call for an easy session. It is the opposite of the curl_easy_init function and must be called with the same handle that call returned. This might close all connections this handle has used and possibly has kept open until now - unless it was attached to a multi handle while doing the transfers. Do not call this function if you intend to transfer more files: re-using handles is a key to good performance with libcurl. Occasionally you may get your progress callback or header callback called from within curl_easy_cleanup (if previously set for the handle using curl_easy_setopt). For instance if libcurl decides to shut down the connection and the protocol is of a kind that requires a command/response sequence before disconnect. Examples of such protocols are FTP, POP3 and IMAP. Any use of the handle after this function has been called and has returned, is illegal. curl_easy_cleanup kills the handle and all memory associated with it! For libcurl versions before 7.17,: after you’ve called this function, you can safely remove all the strings you’ve previously told libcurl to use, as it won’t use them anymore now. [PL same deal as per IupRawStringPtr(); post-7.17.0 it makes internal copies, as per IupSetStrAttribute() vs. IupSetAttribute(), so you can safely discard strings immediately, long before calling curl_easy_cleanup.] |

include builtins\libcurl.e curl_global_init() atom curl = curl_easy_init() curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com") atom res = curl_easy_perform(curl) curl_easy_cleanup(curl) curl_global_cleanup() |
