Hi.

"this function is not meant to be called from any other thread than the same thread you use libcurl in"

You mean I should call curl_easy_pause() only from the same thread, which will execute perform() and write callback?

Another question - is it possible to use a single curl instance in several threads (of course, not at the same time)? For example, can I create curl instance in thread A and then give it to thread B, which sets options, calls perform() etc. ?

Regards, andy
