I think I did not explain myself clearly. What I've done is that for
download I initiate a separate thread. The easyhandle is global. The dialog
on which pause button is present is on the main thread. When user clicks
pause I call curl_easy_pause() to pause the download. When user clicks
Resume then I unpause using curl_easy_pause(). However the documentation of
curl_easy_pause() clearly says that it must be called from the same thread
where download is happening.
Correct, as otherwise you risk running into a race condition of some sorts.
2) Now other option for me is CURL_WRITEFUNC_PAUSE but if I use it then how
do I unpause?
With curl_easy_pause() from example the progress callback. The
curl_easy_pause() man page is now updated to suggest exactly this!
