一、简介
Libcurl为一个免费开源的，客户端url传输库，支持FTP，FTPS，TFTP，HTTP，HTTPS，GOPHER，TELNET，DICT，FILE和LDAP，跨平台，支持Windows，Unix，Linux等，线程安全，支持Ipv6。并且易于使用。
二、编译安装
参考：http://curl.haxx.se/docs/install.html
依次执行如下命令进行安装
wget http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.39.0.tar.gz; tar -xzvf curl-7.39.0.tar.gz; cd curl-7.39.0; yum install gcc gcc-c++; yum install openssl; ./configure --with-ssl; make; make install;
三、使用curl-config配置选项
参考：http://download.csdn.net/detail/u011640816/8665471
四、常用函数
1、libcurl的全局初始化及释放
应该在程序开始时调用初始化函数. 虽然不调用这个初始化函数, libcurl会在curl_easy_init()函数中自动调用. 但在多线程处理时, 可能会出现多次自动调用的情况.
CURLcode curl_global_init(long flags) flags: CURL_GLOBAL_ALL //初始化所有的可能的调用。 CURL_GLOBAL_SSL //初始化支持 安全套接字层。 CURL_GLOBAL_WIN32 //初始化win32套接字库。 CURL_GLOBAL_NOTHING //没有额外的初始化。 void curl_global_cleanup(void)
2、初始化下载handle及释放
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
3、设置下载属性. 及常用参数.
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLoption option, parameter);
1）设置下载数据的回调函数
option: CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION //设置回调函数 回调函数原型为: size_t function( void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *userp);
触发：函数将在libcurl接收到数据后被调用。
参数说明：void *ptr是下载回来的数据. void *userp是用户指针, 用户通过这个指针传输自己的数据.
CURLOPT_WRITEDATA //设置回调函数中的void *userp指针的来源2）控制下载进度
option:
CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS
说明：为了使CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION被调用. CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS必须被设置为false.
CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION
说明：CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION 指定的函数正常情况下每秒被libcurl调用一次.
CURLOPT_PROGRESSDATA
说明：CURLOPT_PROGRESSDATA指定的参数将作为CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION指定函数的参数.
3）其它常用属性
option: CURLOPT_URL 说明：设置访问的URI. CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL 说明：屏蔽其它信号. CURLOPT_HEADER 说明：取数据时连同HTTP头部一起取回. CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION CURLOPT_HEADERDATA 说明：只取HTTP头部数据, 处理与下载数据回调的处理相同. CURLOPT_TIMEOUT 说明：超时时间. CURLOPT_CONNECTIONTIMEOUT 说明：连接等待时间. CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION 说明：设置支持302重定向 CURLOPT_RANGE 说明：断点续传, 指定传输分片, 格式:"0-200"
4) 开始处理
CURLcode curl_easy_perform(CURL *handle);
五、编程实例
