- Warn that in Windows if libcurl is running from a DLL and if CURLOPT_HEADERDATA is set then CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION or CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION must be set as well, otherwise the user may experience crashes. We already have a similar warning in CURLOPT_WRITEDATA. Basically, in Windows libcurl could crash writing a FILE pointer that was created by a different C runtime. In Windows each DLL that is part of a program may or may not have its own C runtime. Ref: curl#10231 Closes #xxxx
