libcURL.EasyHandle.Perform

libcURL.EasyHandle.Perform

Method Signature

 Function Perform(URL As String = "", Timeout As Integer = 0) As Boolean

Parameters

Name	Type	Comment
URL	String	Optional. If specified, the RFC 3986 URI to operate on.
Timeout	Integer	Optional. If specified, the connection timeout interval in seconds.

Return value

Returns True if the operation succeeded. Check EasyHandle.LastError for the error number if this method returns False.

Remarks

This is probably not the method you are looking for. You probably want cURLClient.Perform().

Calls curl_easy_perform. Pass an optional URL to automatically set the URL options, and/or an optional timeout period.

This method will block your application until it returns regardless of the thread context. REALbasic/Xojo threads are not pre-emptive and, for the purposes of libcURL, aren't considered threads at all. For non-blocking transfers use a MultiHandle stack.

If you specify a timeout period, libcURL will abort the attempt if no connection is established before time expires. If a connection is aborted due to the timeout elapsing EasyHandle.LastError will be libcURL.Errors.TIMEOUT (28). A timeout of zero means no timeout (wait forever) and is the default.
