Network.Curl

Description

A Haskell binding the libcurl library http://curl.haxx.se/, a proven and feature-rich library for interacting with HTTP(S)/FTP servers.

The binding was initially made against version 7.16.2; libcurl does appear to be considerate in not introducing breaking changes wrt older versions. So, unless you're after the latest features (i.e., constructors towards the end the Option type), there's a very good chance your code will work against older installations of libcurl.

module Network.Curl.Code

withCurlDo :: IO a -> IO a Source #

Should be used once to wrap all uses of libcurl. WARNING: the argument should not return before it is completely done with curl (e.g., no forking or lazy returns)

setopts :: Curl -> [CurlOption] -> IO () Source #

Set a list of options on a Curl handle.

data CurlResponse_ headerTy bodyTy Source #

`CurlResponse_` is a record type encoding all the information embodied in a response to your Curl request. Currently only used to gather up the results of doing a GET in `curlGetResponse`.

Fields

- respCurlCode :: CurlCode
- respStatus :: Int
- respStatusLine :: String
- respHeaders :: headerTy
- respBody :: bodyTy
- respGetInfo :: Info -> IO InfoValue

type CurlResponse = CurlResponse_ [(String, String)] String Source #

curlGet :: URLString -> [CurlOption] -> IO () Source #

`curlGet` perform a basic GET, dumping the output on stdout. The list of options are set prior performing the GET request.

curlGetString :: URLString -> [CurlOption] -> IO (CurlCode, String) Source #

`curlGetString` performs the same request as `curlGet`, but returns the response body as a Haskell string.

curlGetResponse :: URLString -> [CurlOption] -> IO CurlResponse Source #

Deprecated: Switch to using curlGetResponse_

perform_with_response :: (CurlHeader hdrTy, CurlBuffer bufTy) => Curl -> IO (CurlResponse_ hdrTy bufTy) Source #

Deprecated: Consider switching to perform_with_response_

Perform the actions already specified on the handle. Collects useful information about the returned message. Note that this function sets the `CurlWriteFunction` and `CurlHeaderFunction` options.

do_curl :: Curl -> URLString -> [CurlOption] -> IO CurlResponse Source #

Deprecated: Consider switching to do_curl_

Performs a curl request using an exisitng curl handle. The provided URL will overwride any `CurlURL` options that are provided in the list of options. See also: `perform_with_response`.

curlGetString_ :: CurlBuffer ty => URLString -> [CurlOption] -> IO (CurlCode, ty) Source #

curlGetResponse_ :: (CurlHeader hdr, CurlBuffer ty) => URLString -> [CurlOption] -> IO (CurlResponse_ hdr ty) Source #

`curlGetResponse url opts` performs a `GET`, returning all the info it can lay its hands on in the response, a value of type `CurlResponse`. The representation of the body is overloaded

perform_with_response_ :: (CurlHeader headerTy, CurlBuffer bodyTy) => Curl -> IO (CurlResponse_ headerTy bodyTy) Source #

Perform the actions already specified on the handle. Collects useful information about the returned message. Note that this function sets the `CurlWriteFunction` and `CurlHeaderFunction` options. The returned payload is overloaded over the representation of both headers and body via the `CurlResponse_` type.

do_curl_ :: (CurlHeader headerTy, CurlBuffer bodyTy) => Curl -> URLString -> [CurlOption] -> IO (CurlResponse_ headerTy bodyTy) Source #

curlHead_ :: CurlHeader headers => URLString -> [CurlOption] -> IO (String, headers) Source #

Get the headers associated with a particular URL. Returns the status line and the key-value pairs for the headers.

curlHead :: URLString -> [CurlOption] -> IO (String, [(String, String)]) Source #

Get the headers associated with a particular URL. Returns the status line and the key-value pairs for the headers.

curlMultiPost :: URLString -> [CurlOption] -> [HttpPost] -> IO () Source #

`curlMultiPost` perform a multi-part POST submission.

curlPost :: URLString -> [String] -> IO () Source #

`curlPost` performs. a common POST operation, namely that of submitting a sequence of name=value pairs.

getResponseCode :: Curl -> IO Int Source #

setDefaultSSLOpts :: Curl -> URLString -> IO () Source #

callbackWriter :: (String -> IO ()) -> WriteFunction Source #

Imports data into the Haskell world and invokes the callback.

easyWriter :: (String -> IO ()) -> WriteFunction Source #

ignoreOutput :: WriteFunction Source #

The output of Curl is ignored. This function does not marshall data into Haskell.

gatherOutput :: IORef [String] -> WriteFunction Source #

Add chunks of data to an IORef as they arrive.

gatherOutput_ :: (CStringLen -> IO ()) -> WriteFunction Source #

Add chunks of data to an IORef as they arrive.

class CurlBuffer bufferTy where Source #

The `CurlBuffer` class encodes the representation of response buffers, allowing you to provide your own app-specific buffer reps to be used..or use one of the standard instances (String and ByteStrings.)
