If the socket is no 34 longer valid, *CURL_SOCKET_BAD* is returned. When you are finished working 35 with the socket, you must call curl_easy_cleanup(3) as usual on the easy 36 handle and let libcurl close the socket and cleanup other resources associated 37 with the handle. This option returns the active socket only after the transfer 38 is complete, and is typically used in combination with 39 CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY(3), which skips the transfer phase. 40 41 CURLINFO_ACTIVESOCKET(3) was added as a replacement for 42 CURLINFO_LASTSOCKET(3) since that one is not working on all platforms. 43 44 # %PROTOCOLS% 45 46 # EXAMPLE 47 48 ~~~c 49 int main(void) 50 { 51 CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); 52 if(curl) { 53 CURLcode res; 54 curl_socket_t sockfd; 55 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com"); 56 57 /* Do not do the transfer - only connect to host */ 58 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY, 1L); 59 res = curl_easy_perform(curl); 60 if(res != CURLE_OK) { 61 printf("Error: %s\n", curl_easy_strerror(res)); 62 curl_easy_cleanup(curl); 63 return 1; 64 } 65 66 /* Extract the socket from the curl handle */ 67 res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_ACTIVESOCKET, &sockfd); 68 if(!res && sockfd != CURL_SOCKET_BAD) { 69 /* operate on sockfd */ 70 } 71 72 curl_easy_cleanup(curl); 73 } 74 } 75 ~~~ 76 77 # %AVAILABILITY% 78 79 # RETURN VALUE 80 81 curl_easy_getinfo(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error. 82 83 CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see 84 libcurl-errors(3).
