URL Variable passing into Curl

Question

I\'m new to cURL and needed it for my assignment. And I\'m using C++ for this.

I have this particular line which works fine.

curl_easy_setopt(curl, C         


        

Answer 1

CURLOPT_URL: Pass in a pointer to the actual URL to deal with. The parameter should be a char * to a zero terminated string...

If you hold the URL in a std::string variable you should use std::string::c_str().

std::string URL = "http://www.google.com";  
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, URL.c_str());
