34
This function sends arbitrary data over the established connection. You may
35
use it together with \fIcurl_easy_recv(3)\fP to implement custom protocols
36
using libcurl. This functionality can be particularly useful if you use
37
proxies and/or SSL encryption: libcurl will take care of proxy negotiation and
40
\fBbuffer\fP is a pointer to the data of length \fBbuflen\fP that you want sent.
41
The variable \fBn\fP points to will receive the number of sent bytes.
43
To establish the connection, set \fBCURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY\fP option before
44
calling \fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP. Note that \fIcurl_easy_send(3)\fP will not
45
work on connections that were created without this option.
47
You must ensure that the socket is writable before calling
48
\fIcurl_easy_send(3)\fP, otherwise the call will return \fBCURLE_AGAIN\fP -
49
the socket is used in non-blocking mode internally. Use
50
\fIcurl_easy_getinfo(3)\fP with \fBCURLINFO_LASTSOCKET\fP to obtain the
51
socket; use your operating system facilities like \fIselect(2)\fP to check if
56
On success, returns \fBCURLE_OK\fP and stores the number of bytes actually
57
sent into \fB*n\fP. Note that this may very well be less than the amount you
60
On failure, returns the appropriate error code.
62
See \fBsendrecv.c\fP in \fBdocs/examples\fP directory for usage example.
