cURL UDF - a UDF for transferring data with URL syntax

[Graeme]

I tried downloading this -

I couldn't find the dlls on the website or in the zip file - tried googling them and found them on this site -

http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?libssl32

Tried running the examples and got these errors -

C:Program Files (x86)AutoIt3Includecurl.au3(411,79) : WARNING: $hCurlHandle: possibly used before declaration.
        DllCall($hDll_LibCurl, "uint:cdecl", "curl_easy_setopt", "ptr", $hCurlHandle,
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^

Func CurlDown()
#include <cURL.au3>
; Initialise cURL
cURL_initialise()
; Connect and get index page
$out = cURL_easy("cookie.txt", "<a href='http://www.autoitscript.com/' class='bbc_url' title=''>http://www.autoitscript.com/"</a>, "")
; output the HTTP response to the console
ConsoleWrite($out)
; Clean up cURL
cURL_cleanup()
EndFunc

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Hi all,

I haven't posted updates to the AutoIT forums for a while now.

But I needed to improve my cURL UDF to support HTTP headers and response codes.

See my latest update (v0.3). 

Sorry I know the UDF was at v0.5, but somehow I've dropped back two versions.  May have regressed the UDF slightly, but progressed in other areas ;-)

Is DLLs libeay32.dll, libssh2.dll included in resent versions like 7.46 ... 7.48 ? i see only libcurl.dll in package for some reason...  Is those dll's really needed? - ward's UDF working without them (but no x64 support...)

[Virgilio1]

my script is

Local $lgtA = $CoordinatePartenza[2]
Local $lgtB = $CoordinateArrivo[2]
Local $url = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/xml?origins=" & $lgtA[0] & "+" & $lgtA[1] & "&destinations=" & $lgtB[0] & "+" & $lgtB[1] & "&mode=driving&language=it-IT&key=" & $ApiGoogleKey

I have this error :

! Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to maps.googleapis.com:443 

I do not understand why.

Latest DLLs on https://curl.se/windows/ (09.12.2020)

libcurl-x64.dll https://curl.se/windows/dl-7.74.0_2/curl-7.74.0_2-win64-mingw.zip

libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll and libssl-1_1-x64.dll https://curl.se/windows/dl-7.74.0_2/openssl-1.1.1i_2-win64-mingw.zip

Thank you for this UDF.

Hi Paul,

did the curl udf work with this dll on your side? 

I still get errormessages

[paulpmeier]

MatzeP,

Copy the files libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll, libssl-1_1-x64.dll and libcurl-x64.dll into your cURL.au3 directory.

In cURL.au3 replace in line 125 libcurl.dll with libcurl-x64.dll.

Hi Paul,

Thank you. It runs!!

 

Have you an idea what I can do if I must send credentials?

[paulpmeier]

MatzeP,

look at the libcurl programming tutorial, Passwords

; protocol://user:password@example.com/path/
Local $aResponse = cURL_easy("http://myusername:mypassword@www.xyz.com/logs/")

Hello World,

i am looking to a version which handles the SSL OPTION NATIVE CA, as it has been included in the 7.71.0 Version of LibCurl.
Any Ideas how to incorporate the possibility to use the easy set option interface for that?
 

CURLSSLOPT_NATIVE_CA

Tell libcurl to use the operating system's native CA store for certificate verification. Works only on Windows when built to use OpenSSL. This option is experimental and behavior is subject to change. (Added in 7.71.0)

"C:\Users\user\Desktop\AutoIT cUrl\cURL.au3" (177) : ==> Subscript used on non-accessible variable.:
$hCurlHandle = $hCurlHandle[0]
$hCurlHandle = $hCurlHandle^ ERROR

 

Help  

[ripdad]

This should help you debug the error...

$hCurlHandle = DllCall($hDll_LibCurl, "ptr:cdecl", "curl_easy_init")
If @error Or Not IsArray($hCurlHandle) Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
$hCurlHandle = $hCurlHandle[0]

 

EDIT

I just noticed that you're using 64bit dll's.

Did you change the required lines in the UDF to use them?

I made these changes, do I need to change anything else in order to use 64bit dll's ?

Hey seangriffin,

Very nice, thank you. 😃 I have just one question though. Not trying to criticize your work, but what is the benefit from using the UDF instead of

RunWait("curl <PARAMETERS>")

?

[ripdad]

Flax - you should be good to go. Good luck!
