i want to download a file using http the attached code works fine. but the code is not usable when -> the file is missing in the server -> or if proper permission is not given to access the file even if the file is missing or with no proper permission...the error code says *CURL_OK* ie *no error.* the file still gets downloaded, and in it there is html page of apache 404 error or 403 error
i googled for many times but could not come up with any solutions anyone could could please help me with these queries -> how to stop redirect? -> how to first check the http status codes? and if its 200 then only download file or else display proper message to user? -> what are the basics test i need to perform before and after downloading of file? (so that the file gets downloaded successfully) could anyone please help me with regards, deepak -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "curlpp" group.
