Dear all,
the libcurl tutorial states that "libcurl is completely thread safe, except
for two issues: signals and SSL/TLS handlers". On the other hand, the
description of curl_global_init states: "This function is not thread
safe. You must not call it when any other thread in the program (i.e. a
thread sharing the same memory) is running. This doesn't just mean no other
thread that is using libcurl."
What is right?
Thanks!
Best,
Konstantin
