Thanks for the reply. Does your statement also apply to the multi
interface? The way the faq is worded gives me hope that I can safely do
pthread_cancel if I'm using the multi interface. Is that right?
Nope. Forget about pthread_cancel (or any other thread-killing function),
that's not the tool you want for this task.
The standard way to stop a transfer with the multi interface is what is
described in that FAQ entry: "If you're using the multi interface, you can
also stop a transfer by removing the particular easy handle from the multi
stack at any moment you think the transfer is done."
