Hi,
I'm using the easy interface in a win32 environment for quite a while.
The only back draw I see is the blocking during DNS resolution.
I know there has been a lot of discussion on this topic.
Would switching to the multi interface solve this "problem"?
I'm not sure as I'm already running all calls to libcurl in a separate
thread (only one at a time) but don't see a way to end the thread safely
when the DNS lookup takes place.
This is especially annoying when trying to connect to an incorrect
address.
I'm currently using libcurl 7.9.8, HTTP only
Thanks in advance,
