libcurl is inherently paused while in a callback, so if you're just using the easy interface and therefore have just a single transfer outstanding, you can ignore curl_easy_pause and just do your thread synchronization within the read callback. Simply don't return from that callback with valid data until it's available! You can do any sort of synchronization you want in that callback, just don't return before the data is ready. >>> Dan ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
