I am wondering since i am a little confused on how to download a zip
file from a url like www.example.com/test.zip? I have looked at the
examples such as simple.c but that only returns the source of the
page. I than tried to do something like this (idk if it would be
better as a attachment or not).
#include <stdio.h>
#include <curl.h>
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl;
CURLcode res;
curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com/test.zip";);
/* Perform the request, res will get the return code */
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
/* Check for errors */
if(res != CURLE_OK)
fprintf(stderr, "curl_easy_perform() failed: %s\n",
curl_easy_strerror(res));
/* always cleanup */
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
system("PAUSE"); //so i can read what it outputs.
}
return 0;
}
It returns PK?? so something is not right here and i am using this on
c++ but i have not found a problem with c\c++.
It is working; all Zip files start with PK, so you are downloading the
zip file but displaying it to stdout.
So how do i download a zip from a url?
To capture the output in a file have a look at the CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION
of curl_easy_setopt().
Cheers, Mark
