There's basically only one thing to keep in mind when using C++ instead of C
when interfacing libcurl:
- "The Callbacks Must Be Plain C"
+The callbacks CANNOT be non-static class member functions
-So if you want a write callback set in libcurl, you should put it within
-\&'extern'. Similar to this:
+Example C++ code:
.nf
- extern "C" {
- size_t write_data(void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb,
- void *ourpointer)
+class AClass {
+ static size_t write_data(void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb,
+ void *ourpointer)
{
/* do what you want with the data */
}
}
.fi
-This will of course effectively turn the callback code into C. There won't be
-any "this" pointer available etc.

.SH "Proxies"
What "proxy" means according to Merriam-Webster: "a person authorized to act
