Curl Sandboxed Examples

Each example in this folder is the sandboxed version of a code snippet from this page on curl's website. These examples perform some basic tasks using libcurl, and can be useful both to understand how to use Curl Sandboxed, but also to get an idea of how regular and sandboxed code compare to each other.

This is the list of the examples:

• example1: sandboxed version of simple.c. Really simple HTTP request, downloads and prints out the page at example.com.
• example2: sandboxed version of getinmemory.c. Same HTTP request as example1. The difference is that this example uses a callback to save the page directly in memory. Only the page size is printed out.
• example3: sandboxed version of simplessl.c. HTTPS request of the example.com page, using SSL authentication. This script takes 4 arguments (SSL certificates file, SSL keys file, SSL keys password and CA certificates files), and prints out the page.
• example4: sandboxed version of multi-poll.c. Same HTTP request as example1, with the addition of a polling method that can be used to track the status of the request. The page is printed out after it is downloaded.
• example5: sandboxed version of multithread.c. Four HTTP request of the pages example.com, example.edu, example.net and example.org, performed at the same time using libcurl's multithreading methods. The threads' status and the pages are printed out.
• example6: sandboxed version of simple.c. Performs the same tasks as example1, but Sandbox API Transactions are used to show how they can be used to perform a simple request.
