This document presents a mixture of ideas from at least: - Daniel Stenberg - Steve Dekorte - Sterling Hughes - Ben Greear ------------------------------------------- GOALS o Enable a "pull" interface. The application that uses libcurl decides where and when to ask libcurl to get/send data. o Enable multiple simultaneous transfers in the same thread without making it complicated for the application. o Enable the application to select() on its own file descriptors and curl's file descriptors simultaneous easily. */ #if defined(_WIN32) && !defined(WIN32) /* Chris Lewis mentioned that he doesn't get WIN32 defined, only _WIN32 so we make this adjustment to catch this. */ #define WIN32 1 #endif #if defined(WIN32) && !defined(_WIN32_WCE) && !defined(__GNUC__) || \ defined(__MINGW32__) #if !(defined(_WINSOCKAPI_) || defined(_WINSOCK_H)) /* The check above prevents the winsock2 inclusion if winsock.h already was included, since they can't co-exist without problems */ #include <winsock2.h> #endif #else /* HP-UX systems version 9, 10 and 11 lack sys/select.h and so does oldish libc5-based Linux systems.
