+1 To make matters more confusing, I've also found this information: "There are currently over 80 options for curl_easy_setopt() that accept a string as its third argument. When a string is set in a handle, libcurl immediately copies that data so that the application does not have to keep the data around for the time the transfer is being done - with one notable exception: CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS." Found here: https://everything.curl.dev/libcurl/options/strings If that is true, maybe the note "The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option" should be killed from all CURLOPT_* pages and there should only be a note for CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS that says that the string isn't copied. -- Best regards, Andreas Falkenhahn mailto:[email protected] -- Unsubscribe: https://lists.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: https://curl.se/mail/etiquette.html
