Unimplemented Options And Constants
===================================
PycURL intentionally does not expose some of the libcurl options and constants.
This document explains libcurl symbols that were omitted from PycURL.
``*DATA`` options
-----------------
In libcurl, the ``*aDATA`` options set *client data* for various callbacks.
Each callback has a corresponding ``*DATA`` option.
In Python - a language with closures - such options are unnecessary.
For example, the following code invokes an instance's ``write`` method
which has full access to its class instance::
class Writer(object):
def __init__(self):
self.foo = True
def write(chunk):
# can use self.foo
writer = Writer()
curl = pycurl.Curl()
curl.setopt(curl.WRITEFUNCTION, writer.write)
As of version 7.19.3, PycURL does implement three ``*DATA`` options for
convenience:
``WRITEDATA``, ``HEADERDATA`` and ``READDATA``. These are equivalent to
setting the respective callback option with either a ``write`` or ``read``
method, as appropriate::
# equivalent pairs:
curl.setopt(curl.WRITEDATA, writer)
curl.setopt(curl.WRITEFUNCTION, writer.write)
curl.setopt(curl.HEADERDATA, writer)
curl.setopt(curl.HEADERFUNCTION, writer.write)
curl.setopt(curl.READDATA, reader)
curl.setopt(curl.READFUNCTION, reader.read)
``CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION``
------------------------
It is unclear how the SSL context should be exposed to Python code.
This option can be implemented if it finds a use case.
Undocumented symbols
--------------------
Some symbols are present in libcurl's `symbols in versions`_ document but
are not documented by libcurl. These symbols are not implemented by PycURL.
As of this writing, the following symbols are thusly omitted:
- ``CURLPAUSE_RECV_CONT``
- ``CURLPAUSE_SEND_CONT``
