>The multi interface is not blocking... Right sorry, I was using multi with curl_multi_fdset and select (code from the fopen.c sample), which made the code achieve blocking.

Right in windows select works only on sockets, and WaitForMultipleObjects work on other handles. This is why I want to use WSAEventSelect which associates (I think) a socket with an event (that can be then used with WaitForMultipleObjects) >Yes, you can set those but if you want the "raw" sockets you must use the >curl_multi_socket_action() function instead of curl_multi_perform(). I forgot to mention that I'm doing HTTP GET, not raw socket. >(I'll appreciate patches!) Since I'm not very familiar with curl, I prefer not to make any faulty patches, also the samples use libevent which I don't have I'm using only windows. >So do they wait for the sockets the correct way? If so, why don't they >>return? >Don't the socket(s) get any action? If they do, isn't that a sign you don't >wait for them the correct way? If they don't, isn't that a sign something >is seriously wrong? I'm not sure if I'm using curl the correct way (curl_multi_preform vs curl_multi_socket_action vs curl_multi_socket_all), and I'm not sure I'm using Win32 API correctly (WSAEventSelect). This is why I ask if someone has a sample that does what I'm trying to do (on windows) ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
