5.4 Does libcurl do Winsock initialization on win32 systems?
- No.
-
- On win32 systems, you need to init the winsock stuff manually, libcurl will
- not do that for you. WSAStartup() and WSACleanup() should be used
- accordingly. The reason for this is of course that a single application may
- use several different libraries and parts, and there's no reason for every
- single library to do this.
+ Yes (since 7.8.1) if told to in the curl_global_init() call.
5.5 Does CURLOPT_FILE and CURLOPT_INFILE work on win32 ?
