NAME
CURLINFO_ACTIVESOCKET - get the active socket
SYNOPSIS
#include <
curl/
curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_ACTIVESOCKET,
curl_socket_t *socket);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a curl_socket_t to receive the active socket used by this
curl session. If the socket is no longer valid,
CURL_SOCKET_BAD is
returned. When you finish working with the socket, you must call
curl_easy_cleanup(3) as usual on the easy handle and let libcurl close
the socket and cleanup other resources associated with the handle. This is
typically used in combination with
CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY(3).
This option was added as a replacement for
CURLINFO_LASTSOCKET(3) since
that one isn't working on all platforms.
PROTOCOLS
All
EXAMPLE
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_socket_t sockfd;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com");
/* Do not do the transfer - only connect to host */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY, 1L);
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
/* Extract the socket from the curl handle */
res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_ACTIVESOCKET, &sockfd);
if(res != CURLE_OK) {
printf("Error: %s\\n", curl_easy_strerror(res));
return 1;
}
}
AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.45.0
RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
