Hi,
This error has cost me MANY hours of debugging and I want to know if there
is an explanation behind it.
I called curl_global_init() with CURL_GLOBAL_NOTHING. This worked on Linux
as expected, however on Windows it made curl_easy_perform() fail with
CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_HOST (6). I changed it to CURL_GLOBAL_ALL and it
started working. I then changed it back to CURL_GLOBAL_NOTHING and to my
surprise it did not fail anymore!!!
Can someone explain to me what's going on?
Thanks,
Tiberiu
