CURLOPT_PREREQFUNCTION(3) | Library Functions Manual | CURLOPT_PREREQFUNCTION(3) |
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.

printf("Connection made to %s:%d\n", conn_primary_ip, conn_primary_port);
return CURL_PREREQFUNC_OK; } int main(void) {
struct priv prereq_data;
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
