void CPLHTTPDestroyResult

(

CPLHTTPResult *

psResult

)

Clean the memory associated with the return value of CPLHTTPFetch().

Parameters:

psResult

pointer to the return value of CPLHTTPFetch()

References CPLHTTPResult::pabyData, CPLHTTPResult::pszContentType, and CPLHTTPResult::pszErrBuf.

int CPLHTTPEnabled

(

void

)

Return if CPLHTTP services can be usefull.

Those services depend on GDAL being build with libcurl support.

Returns:

TRUE if libcurl support is enabled

CPLHTTPResult* CPLHTTPFetch	(	const char *	pszURL,
		char **	papszOptions
	)

Fetch a document from an url and return in a string.

For example "Accept: application/x-ogcwkt" HTTPAUTH=[BASIC/NTLM/ANY] to specify an authentication scheme to use. USERPWD=userid:password to specify a user and password for authentication

Returns:

a CPLHTTPResult* structure that must be freed by CPLHTTPDestroyResult(), or NULL if libcurl support is diabled

int CPLHTTPParseMultipartMime

(

CPLHTTPResult *

psResult

)

Parses a a MIME multipart message.

This function will iterate over each part and put it in a separate element of the pasMimePart array of the provided psResult structure.

Parameters:

psResult
