go-curl
=======

[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/andelf/go-curl.png?branch=master)](http://travis-ci.org/andelf/go-curl)

go-curl is a GoLang interface to [libcurl](https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/),
the multiprotocol file transfer library. Similar to the HTTP
support in [net/http] (https://pkg.go.dev/net/http), go-curl can be used to
fetch objects from a Go program. While go-curl can provide simple fetches,
it also exposes most of the functionality of libcurl, including:

* Speed - libcurl is very fast.
* Multiple protocol (not just HTTP).
* SSL, authentication and proxy support.
* Support for libcurl's callbacks.

This said, libcurl API can be less easy to learn than net/http.

```go
package main

import (
"fmt"
curl "github.com/andelf/go-curl"
)

func main() {
easy := curl.EasyInit()
defer easy.Cleanup()

easy.Setopt(curl.OPT_URL, "https://www.baidu.com/")

// OPTIONAL - make a callback function
fooTest := func (buf []byte, userdata interface{}) bool {
println("DEBUG: size=>", len(buf))
println("DEBUG: content=>", string(buf))
return true
}

easy.Setopt(curl.OPT_WRITEFUNCTION, fooTest)

if err := easy.Perform(); err != nil {
fmt.Printf("ERROR: %v\n", err)
}
}
```
