NAME

       CURLOPT_PREREQFUNCTION  - user callback called when a connection has been established, but
       before a request has been made.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       /* These are the return codes for the pre-request callback. */
       #define CURL_PREREQFUNC_OK 0
       #define CURL_PREREQFUNC_ABORT 1 /* fail the entire transfer */

       int prereq_callback(void *clientp,
                           char *conn_primary_ip,
                           char *conn_local_ip,
                           int conn_primary_port,
                           int conn_local_port);

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PREREQFUNCTION, prereq_callback);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype shown above.

       This function gets called by  libcurl  after  a  connection  has  been  established  or  a
       connection  has  been  reused  (including  any SSL handshaking), but before any request is
       actually made on the connection. For example, for HTTP, this callback  is  called  once  a
       connection  has been established to the server, but before a GET/HEAD/POST/etc request has
       been sent.

       This function may be called multiple times if  redirections  are  enabled  and  are  being
       followed (see CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION(3)).

       The  callback function must return CURL_PREREQFUNC_OK on success, or CURL_PREREQFUNC_ABORT
       to cause the transfer to fail.

       This function is passed the following arguments:

       conn_primary_ip
              A null-terminated pointer to a C string containing the primary  IP  of  the  remote
              server  established  with  this connection. For FTP, this is the IP for the control
              connection. IPv6 addresses are represented without surrounding brackets.

       conn_local_ip
              A null-terminated pointer to a C string containing  the  originating  IP  for  this
              connection. IPv6 addresses are represented without surrounding brackets.

       conn_primary_port
              The primary port number on the remote server established with this connection.  For
              FTP, this is the port for the control connection. This can be a TCP or a  UDP  port
              number depending on the protocol.

       conn_local_port
              The  originating  port  number for this connection. This can be a TCP or a UDP port
              number depending on the protocol.

       clientp
              The pointer you set with CURLOPT_PREREQDATA(3).

DEFAULT

       By default, this is NULL and unused.

PROTOCOLS

       ALL

EXAMPLE

       static int prereq_callback(void *clientp,
                                  char *conn_primary_ip,
                                  char *conn_local_ip,
                                  int conn_primary_port,
                                  int conn_local_port)
       {
         printf("Connection made to %s:%s\n", conn_primary_ip, conn_primary_port);
         return CURL_PREREQFUNC_OK;
       }

       {
         struct data prereq_data;
         curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PREREQFUNCTION, prereq_callback);
         curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PREREQDATA, &prereq_data);
       }

AVAILABILITY
