Re: Using CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH
Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2016 09:22:57 +0100
Hi, thanks for your help.
Finally i got it, i had two versions of libcurl installed on my machine.
One in 7.19 and the latest which i compiled and installed yesterday to test
unix domain socket.
In fact i was pointing to the good headers so i had the UNIX_SOCKET_PATH
option, BUT i was not linking with the good library ! i Found that by
checking the return code when setting the UNIX_SOCKET_PATH option
Ray you were on the right track and thanks Dan for the tip i did not know
about it !
