CCurl

A Swift wrapper around libcurl that works with Linux

Dependencies

For Linux you need:

sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev

Build the library

At the moment, you need to build the static library yourself as curl_easy_setopt is a variadic function and so is not imported by Swift.

The sotscurl.a static library provides these additional functions to get around this problem:

• curl_easy_setopt_string
• curl_easy_setopt_bool

Build it like this:

make
sudo make install

Usage

This component is set up to be used with the Swift Package Manager.

Add this line to your dependencies section:

.Package(url: "https://github.com/SwiftOnTheServer/CCurl.git", majorVersion: 1)

If you do not have a Package.swift, then this will work:

import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
    dependencies: [
        .Package(url: "https://github.com/SwiftOnTheServer/CCurl.git", majorVersion: 1)
    ]
)

Example application

In a new directory, create Package.swift:

import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
    dependencies: [
        .Package(url: "https://github.com/SwiftOnTheServer/CCurl.git", versions: Version(0,0,1)..<Version(2,0,0))
    ]
)

Now create main.swift:

import CCurl

let handle = curl_easy_init()

curl_easy_setopt_string(handle, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.example.com")
curl_easy_setopt_bool(handle, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true)

let ret = curl_easy_perform(handle)
let error = curl_easy_strerror(ret)

print("error = \(error)")
print("ret = \(ret)")
