Re: Issue - necessary data rewind wasn't possible

Thanks for the help!!

I have one more question on this. In this situation I am getting
CURLE_OK. Because the connection has broken, I don't have HTTP code as
well.
I can make a retry on this particular case from my application, but if
I get CURLE_OK how does my application recognize it?

Could you please tell me how can my application recognize for retry in
this case?
Also, if possible kindly send me some reference example of
CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION, as I am not able to find it on WWW.

Thanks,
Sachin
