使用libcurl的正确姿势

libcurl支持访问http、ftp等各种服务器,下载图片AV什么的不在话下。但其存在多种接口,异步接口也很难以理解,到底什么样的使用姿势才是正确滴?我们来看看可用的体位:

  • easy interface:最简单的同步接口,容易理解,但同步访问实在不是性能之选。至于引入多线程,那是简单问题复杂化。注意异步访问也是以easy interface为基础,所以还是要学习一下:《libcurl教程》
  • multi interface:异步访问接口,性能杠杠滴,但是。。。真的很难理解啊。。。官方文档:《multi interface overview》
    • curl_multi_perform() + select():select()性能不够好,还受到file descriptors不能大于1024的限制。参考《使用libcurl进行异步并发访问与文件上传》

    • curl_multi_socket_action():使用epoll模型,性能最好,但更难懂。。。参考范例

    • curl_multi_perform() + curl_multi_wait():这个据说是facebook做出的伟大贡献(参见《Introducing curl_multi_wait》),保证性能的同时也相对容易使用,强力推荐的姿势。抄录示例代码如下:

           Code description:
            Requests 4 Web pages via the CURL multi interface
            and checks if the HTTP status code is 200.
           Update: Fixed! The check for !numfds was the problem.
