sockopt callback
The sockopt callback is set with CURLOPT_SOCKOPTFUNCTION
:
curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_SOCKOPTFUNCTION, sockopt_callback);
The sockopt_callback
function must match this prototype:
int sockopt_callback(void *clientp,
curl_socket_t curlfd,
curlsocktype purpose);
This callback function gets called by libcurl when a new socket has
been created but before the connect call, to allow applications to change
specific socket options.
The clientp pointer points to the private data set withCURLOPT_SOCKOPTDATA
:
curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_SOCKOPTDATA, custom_pointer);
This callback should return:
- CURL_SOCKOPT_OK on success
- CURL_SOCKOPT_ERROR to signal an unrecoverable error to libcurl
- CURL_SOCKOPT_ALREADY_CONNECTED to signal success but also that the socket is
in fact already connected to the destination
