<h1>Curl Object</h1>

Curl objects have the following methods:

<dl>
<dt><code>close()</code> -&gt; None</dt>
<dd>
Corresponds to
<a href="http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_cleanup.html"><code>curl_easy_cleanup</code></a> in libcurl.
This method is automatically called by pycurl when a Curl object no longer has
any references to it, but can also be called explicitly.
</dd>

<dt><code>perform()</code> -&gt; None</dt>
<dd>
Corresponds to
<a href="http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_perform.html"><code>curl_easy_perform</code></a> in libcurl.
</dd>

<dt><code>reset()</code> -&gt; None</dt>
<dd>
Corresponds to
<a
href="http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_reset.html"><code>curl_easy_reset</code></a> in libcurl.
</dd>

<dt><code>setopt(</code>option, value<code>)</code> -&gt; None</dt>
<dd>

Corresponds to
<a href="http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_setopt.html"><code>curl_easy_setopt</code></a> in libcurl, where
option is specified with the CURLOPT_* constants in libcurl,
except that the CURLOPT_ prefix has been removed. The type for
value depends on the option, and can be either a string,
integer, long integer, file objects, lists, or functions.

Example usage:

<pre>
import pycurl
c = pycurl.Curl()
c.setopt(pycurl.URL, "http://www.python.org/")
c.setopt(pycurl.HTTPHEADER, ["Accept:"])
import StringIO
b = StringIO.StringIO()
c.setopt(pycurl.WRITEFUNCTION, b.write)
c.setopt(pycurl.FOLLOWLOCATION, 1)
c.setopt(pycurl.MAXREDIRS, 5)
c.perform()
print b.getvalue()
...
</pre>
</dd>

<dt><code>getinfo(</code>option<code>) </code>-&gt; Result</dt>
<dd>

Corresponds to
<a href="http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_getinfo.html"><code>curl_easy_getinfo</code></a> in libcurl, where
option is the same as the CURLINFO_* constants in libcurl,
except that the CURLINFO_ prefix has been removed.
Result contains an integer, float or string, depending on
which option is given. The <code>getinfo</code> method should
not be called unless <code>perform</code> has been called and
finished.

Example usage:

<pre>
import pycurl
c = pycurl.Curl()
c.setopt(pycurl.URL, "http://sf.net")
c.setopt(pycurl.FOLLOWLOCATION, 1)
c.perform()
print c.getinfo(pycurl.HTTP_CODE), c.getinfo(pycurl.EFFECTIVE_URL)
...
--&gt; 200 "http://sourceforge.net/"
</pre>
</dd>

<dt><code>errstr()</code> -&gt; String</dt>
<dd>
Returns the internal libcurl error buffer of this handle as a string.
</dd>
</dl>
