# libcurl video tutorials

A video tutorials series on how to write Internet applications using libcurl

with [Daniel Stenberg](https://daniel.haxx.se/), founder and lead developer of

the curl project.

Each episode has a title and focused purpose. The source code used and

discussed in each episode is made available here as well as extra links and

useful materials.

All code is written using C. A reasonably modern libcurl version is assumed.

Each episode is 10-15 minutes long, only occasionally longer.

## Episodes

1. [setup](setup/) [▷](https://youtu.be/DVR8N9ob_ZY) a makefile that builds our code (using Linux and gcc)

2. [global](global/) [▷](https://youtu.be/X3bq2uf0OEU) init and cleanup

1. [simplest](simplest/) [▷](https://youtu.be/Uha3JGPRIQs) possible HTTPS client code

2. [receive data](receive-data/) [▷](https://youtu.be/nbTaHEocCuo) by using a write callback

3. [verbose](verbose/) [▷](https://youtu.be/dSEd3i5X_gI) enable CURLOPT_VERBOSE to get more info

3. [head](head/) do HTTP HEAD and something about HTTP methods

3. [more protocols](more-protocols/) make the client download HTTP and FTP too (and limit protocols)

2. certificate verification for HTTPS clients

6. HTTP POST

7. HTTP PUT - with read callback

8. Modifying the HTTP request headers

8. debug callback

8. Retrieving the HTTP response code after a successful transfer

8. multi-part formpost

9. use cookies and login to a site with POST

10. different HTTP versions

11. parse URLs with libcurl

12. [to-multi](to-multi/) - convert the [simplest/](simplest/) easy interface program to using the multi interface

12. do two transfers in parallel with the multi API

13. do many parallel transfers and add new ones before all the existing are done

14. feed receive data into a content parser library

15. write a multi-threaded application using libcurl in multiple threads

16. use the share API to share data between multiple easy handles

## Concept

Each episode should be short and focused on the topic only.

Episodes will be named, not numbered, so that we can insert new ones in

between older ones if we think that suits the narrative.
