```

```ruby
require "curl-crystal"
curl = LibCurl.curl_easy_init # init
LibCurl.curl_easy_setopt curl, LibCurl::CURLoption::CURLOPT_URL, "https://www.google.com" # set URL
LibCurl.curl_easy_setopt curl, LibCurl::CURLoption::CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1 # follow redirect
LibCurl.curl_easy_perform curl # run
LibCurl.curl_easy_cleanup curl # deinit
```

Simple POST request:

```ruby
require "curl-crystal"
curl = LibCurl.curl_easy_init # init
LibCurl.curl_easy_setopt curl, LibCurl::CURLoption::CURLOPT_URL, "http://localhost"
LibCurl.curl_easy_setopt curl, LibCurl::CURLoption::CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "param1=Just+a+test&param2=12.345"
LibCurl.curl_easy_perform curl # run
LibCurl.curl_easy_cleanup curl # deinit
```

```ruby
require "curl-crystal"
curl = LibCurl.curl_easy_init
LibCurl.curl_easy_setopt curl, LibCurl::CURLoption::CURLOPT_URL, "https://aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd"
ret = LibCurl.curl_easy_perform curl # CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_HOST

LibCurl.curl_easy_cleanup curl
```
