cache in libcurl
Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2007 15:49:59 -0800 (PST)
Hi everyone:
I use libcurl to load image from URL. Here is my code. I found that when I ran the program twice with the same URL, the speed is almost the same, which means there is no cache at all. I have expected that libcurl can do the same cache as IE so when I load the same image the second time, it will load from local cache. Did I miss something?
Thank you very much
ImagePointer * readImageFromURL(char* url)
{
CURL *curl_handle;
struct MemoryStruct chunk;
chunk.memory=NULL; /* we expect realloc(NULL, size) to work */
chunk.size = 0; /* no data at this point */
curl_global_init(CURL_GLOBAL_ALL);
/* init the curl session */
curl_handle = curl_easy_init();
/* specify URL to get */
curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_URL, url);
/* send all data to this function */
curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, writeMemoryCallback);
/* we pass our 'chunk' struct to the callback function */
curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, (void *)&chunk);
/* some servers don't like requests that are made without a user-agent
field, so we provide one */
curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "libcurl-agent/1.0");
/* get it! */
curl_easy_perform(curl_handle);
/* cleanup curl stuff */
//make image from chunk.memory
ptr = //...
//
if(chunk.memory){
free(chunk.memory);
}
curl_easy_cleanup(curl_handle);
return ptr;
}
