even downgrade so far so you cross an ABI break border and thus a different

History
The previous major library soname number bumps (breaking backwards
compatibility) have happened the following times:
0 - libcurl 7.1, August 2000
1 - libcurl 7.5 December 2000
2 - libcurl 7.7 March 2001
3 - libcurl 7.12.0 June 2004

.TH curl_easy_escape 3 "7 April 2006" "libcurl 7.15.4" "libcurl Manual"
.SH NAME
curl_easy_escape - URL encodes the given string
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <curl/curl.h>
.sp
.BI "char *curl_easy_escape( CURL *" curl ", char *" url ", int "length " );"
.ad
.SH DESCRIPTION
This function converts the given input string to an URL encoded string and
returns that as a new allocated string. All input characters that are not a-z,
A-Z, 0-9, '-', '.', '_' or '~' are converted to their "URL escaped" version
(%NN where NN is a two-digit hexadecimal number).
If the \fBlength\fP argument is set to 0 (zero), \fIcurl_easy_escape(3)\fP
uses strlen() on the input \fBurl\fP to find out the size.
You must \fIcurl_free(3)\fP the returned string when you're done with it.
.SH AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.15.4 and replaces the old \fIcurl_escape(3)\fP function.
.SH RETURN VALUE
A pointer to a zero terminated string or NULL if it failed.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.BR curl_easy_unescape "(3), " curl_free "(3), " RFC 2396

.SH NAME
curl_easy_escape - URL encodes the given string
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <curl/curl.h>
.sp
.BI "char *curl_easy_escape( CURL *" curl ", char *" url ", int "length " );"
.ad
.SH DESCRIPTION
This function converts the given input string to an URL encoded string and
returns that as a new allocated string. All input characters that are not a-z,
A-Z or 0-9 are converted to their "URL escaped" version (%NN where NN is a
two-digit hexadecimal number).
If the \fBlength\fP argument is set to 0 (zero), \fIcurl_easy_escape(3)\fP
uses strlen() on the input \fBurl\fP to find out the size.
You must \fIcurl_free(3)\fP the returned string when you're done with it.
.SH AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.15.4 and replaces the old \fIcurl_escape(3)\fP function.
.SH RETURN VALUE
A pointer to a zero terminated string or NULL if it failed.

The struct reports how many certs it found and then you can extract info for each of those certs by following the linked lists. The info chain is provided in a series of data in the format "name:content" where the content is for the specific named data. See also the certinfo.c example. NOTE: this option is only available in libcurl built with OpenSSL support. (Added in 7.19.1)

Alas, if this returns a 1 you know that the reason you didn't get data in return is because it didn't fulfill the condition. The long ths argument points to will get a zero stored if the condition instead was met. (Added in 7.19.4)

<p class="level1">When you change the request method by setting <a class="bold" href="#CURLOPTCUSTOMREQUEST">CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST</a> to something, you don't actually change how libcurl behaves or acts in regards to the particular request method, it will only change the actual string sent in the request.
<p class="level1">For example:

This is useful for doing DELETE or other more or less obscure HTTP requests. Don't do this at will, make sure your server supports the command first.
<p class="level1">Note that libcurl will still act and assume the keyword it would use if you didn't set your custom one is the one in use and it will act according to that. Thus, changing this to a HEAD when libcurl otherwise would do a GET might cause libcurl to act funny, and similar.

.BI "char *curl_easy_unescape( CURL *" curl ", char *" url ", int "inlength

.SH DESCRIPTION
This function converts the given URL encoded input string to a "plain string"
and returns that in an allocated memory area. All input characters that are
URL encoded (%XX where XX is a two-digit hexadecimal number) are converted to
their binary versions.
If the \fBlength\fP argument is set to 0 (zero), \fIcurl_easy_unescape(3)\fP
will use strlen() on the input \fIurl\fP string to find out the size.
If \fBoutlength\fP is non-NULL, the function will write the length of the
returned string in the integer it points to. This allows an escaped string
containing %00 to still get used properly after unescaping.
You must \fIcurl_free(3)\fP the returned string when you're done with it.
.SH AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.15.4 and replaces the old \fIcurl_unescape(3)\fP function.

If the \fBCURLFORM_STREAM\fP option is used in the formpost, it will prevent
\fIcurl_formget(3)\fP from working until you've performed the actual HTTP
request as only then will libcurl get the actual read callback to use!

<p class="level0"><span Class="bold">time zone items</span> Specifies international time zone. There are a few acronyms supported, but in general you should instead use the specific relative time compared to UTC. Supported formats include: -1200, MST, +0100.

This function extracts file descriptor information from a given multi_handle.
libcurl returns its fd_set sets. The application can use these to select() on,
but be sure to FD_ZERO them before calling this function as
\fIcurl_multi_fdset(3)\fP only adds its own descriptors, it doesn't zero or
otherwise remove any others. The \fIcurl_multi_perform(3)\fP function should be

otherwise remove any other. The \fIcurl_multi_perform(3)\fP function should be
called as soon as one of them are ready to be read from or written to.
If no file descriptors are set by libcurl, \fImax_fd\fP will contain -1 when
this function returns. Otherwise it will contain the higher descriptor number
libcurl set. When libcurl returns -1 in \fImax_fd\fP, it is because libcurl
currently does something that isn't possible for your application to monitor
with a socket and unfortunately you can then not know exactly when the current
action is completed using select(). When max_fd returns with -1, you need to
wait a while and then proceed and call \fIcurl_multi_perform\fP anyway. How
long to wait? I would suggest 100 milliseconds at least, but you may want to
test it out in your own particular conditions to find a suitable value.
libcurl set.
When doing select(), you should use \fBcurl_multi_timeout\fP to figure out how
long to wait for action. Call \fIcurl_multi_perform\fP even if no activity has
been seen on the fd_sets after the timeout expires as otherwise internal
retries and timeouts may not work as you'd think and want.
You should also be aware that when doing select(), you should consider using a
rather small (single-digit number of seconds) timeout and call
\fIcurl_multi_perform\fP regularly - even if no activity has been seen on the
fd_sets - as otherwise libcurl-internal retries and timeouts may not work as
you'd think and want.
If one of the sockets used by libcurl happens to be larger than what can be
set in an fd_set, which on POSIX systems means that the file descriptor is
larger than FD_SETSIZE, then libcurl will try to not set it. Setting a too
large file descriptor in an fd_set implies an out of bounds write which can
cause crashes, or worse. The effect of NOT storing it will possibly save you
from the crash, but will make your program NOT wait for sockets it should wait
for...
Starting with libcurl 7.16.0, you should use \fBcurl_multi_timeout\fP to
figure out how long to wait for action.

.SH DESCRIPTION
This function handles transfers on all the added handles that need attention
in an non-blocking fashion.
When an application has found out there's data available for the multi_handle
or a timeout has elapsed, the application should call this function to
read/write whatever there is to read or write right now etc.
curl_multi_perform() returns as soon as the reads/writes are done. This
When the app thinks there's data available for the multi_handle, it should
call this function to read/write whatever there is to read or write right
now. curl_multi_perform() returns as soon as the reads/writes are done. This
function does not require that there actually is any data available for
reading or that data can be written, it can be called just in case. It will
write the number of handles that still transfer data in the second argument's
integer-pointer.
If the amount of \fIrunning_handles\fP is changed from the previous call (or
is less than the amount of easy handles you've added to the multi handle), you
know that there is one or more transfers less "running". You can then call
\fIcurl_multi_info_read(3)\fP to get information about each individual
completed transfer, and that returned info includes CURLcode and more. If an
added handle fails very quickly, it may never be counted as a running_handle.
When \fIrunning_handles\fP is set to zero (0) on the return of this function,
there is no longer any transfers in progress.
When you call curl_multi_perform() and the amount of \fIrunning_handles\fP is

.SH "RETURN VALUE"
CURLMcode type, general libcurl multi interface error code.
Before version 7.20.0: If you receive \fICURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM\fP, this
basically means that you should call \fIcurl_multi_perform\fP again, before
you select() on more actions. You don't have to do it immediately, but the
return code means that libcurl may have more data available to return or that
there may be more data to send off before it is "satisfied". Do note that
\fIcurl_multi_perform(3)\fP will return \fICURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM\fP only
when it wants to be called again \fBimmediately\fP. When things are fine and
there is nothing immediate it wants done, it'll return \fICURLM_OK\fP and you
need to wait for \&"action" and then call this function again.

Most applications will use \fIcurl_multi_fdset(3)\fP to get the multi_handle's
