Please find the source code and use examples of functions

These allow associating an URL or a curl handle with a standard C

Fun!
Also a quick reminder to readers that if you want an fopen/fread/frite
style API for libcurl, there is also this start =>
https://github.com/curl/fcurl
Thanks for your feedback. And the reminder was a good idea.
Although the goal is the same, I targetted something really compatible
with C FILE. This allows to easily insert libcurl use in existing
programs as old as C iitself and use on a handle a much wider range of
API without having to write wrappers. The real challenge was "FILE *" !
I know fcurl is not complete yet, but noted the method is a bit
different: curl_fopen plays with the pause flags and unpause only when
enough buffer is available (that is: when in read or write). I did it
this way because I support writes too and to prevent buffer overflows.
If you try my code on an Apache+PHP-FPM web service, you might
experience problems while posting: there currently is an Apache bug on
handling chunked post input. It works perfectly with nginx.
