//! Rust bindings to the libcurl C library //! //! This crate contains bindings for an HTTP/HTTPS client which is powered by //! [libcurl], the same library behind the `curl` command line tool. The API //! currently closely matches that of libcurl itself, except that a Rustic layer //! of safety is applied on top. //! //! [libcurl]: https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/ //! //! # The "Easy" API //! //! The easiest way to send a request is to use the `Easy` api which corresponds //! to `CURL` in libcurl. This handle supports a wide variety of options and can //! be used to make a single blocking request in a thread. Callbacks can be //! specified to deal with data as it arrives and a handle can be reused to //! cache connections and such. //! //! ```rust,no_run //! use std::io::{stdout, Write}; //! //! use curl::easy::Easy; //! //! // Write the contents of rust-lang.org to stdout //! let mut easy = Easy::new(); //! easy.url("https://www.rust-lang.org/").unwrap(); //! easy.write_function(|data| { //! Ok(stdout().write(data).unwrap()) //! }).unwrap(); //! easy.perform().unwrap(); //! ``` //! //! # What about multiple concurrent HTTP requests? //! //! One option you have currently is to send multiple requests in multiple //! threads, but otherwise libcurl has a "multi" interface for doing this //! operation. Initial bindings of this interface can be found in the `multi` //! module, but feedback is welcome! //! //! # Where does libcurl come from? //! //! This crate links to the `curl-sys` crate which is in turn responsible for //! acquiring and linking to the libcurl library. Currently this crate will //! build libcurl from source if one is not already detected on the system. //! //! There is a large number of releases for libcurl, all with different sets of //! capabilities. Robust programs may wish to inspect `Version::get()` to test //! what features are implemented in the linked build of libcurl at runtime. #![deny(missing_docs)] extern crate curl_sys; extern crate libc; #[cfg(all(unix, not(target_os = "macos")))] extern crate openssl_sys; use std::ffi::CStr; use std::str; use std::sync::{Once, ONCE_INIT}; pub use error::{Error, ShareError, MultiError}; mod error; pub use version::{Version, Protocols}; mod version; mod panic; pub mod easy; pub mod multi; /// Initializes the underlying libcurl library. /// /// It's not required to call this before the library is used, but it's /// recommended to do so as soon as the program starts. pub fn init() { static INIT: Once = ONCE_INIT; INIT.call_once(|| { unsafe { curl_sys::curl_global_init(curl_sys::CURL_GLOBAL_ALL); libc::atexit(cleanup); } }); extern fn cleanup() { unsafe { curl_sys::curl_global_cleanup(); } } } unsafe fn opt_str<'a>(ptr: *const libc::c_char) -> Option<&'a str> { if ptr.is_null() { None } else { Some(str::from_utf8(CStr::from_ptr(ptr).to_bytes()).unwrap()) } }
