cURL UDF - a UDF for transferring data with URL syntax

Recommended Posts

Greetings everyone,

 

I'd like to start my own cURL UDF, with a focus on a nice and simple syntax. There are many other cURL samples in the forum, though I found them too difficult to understand and use.

 

This UDF uses the libcurl library, as opposed to the cURL command-line tool, to provide better integration with AutoIT and better performance.

 

REQUIREMENTS:

  • Windows 32-bit (not tested under Windows 64-bit but may work if a 64-bit version of libcurl below is used)
  • AutoIt3 3.2 or higher
  • libcurl v7.21.7 or higher (libcurl.dll, libeay32.dll & libssl32.dll) - see http://curl.haxx.se or download link below

LIST OF FUNCTIONS:

 

Quote

 

cURL_initialise()

cURL_easy($url, $cookie_file = "", $cookie_action = 0, $output_type = 0, $output_file = "", $request_headers = "", $request_data = "", $ssl_verifypeer = 0, $noprogress = 1, $followlocation = 0)

cURL_cleanup()

 

 

 

 

EXAMPLES:

 

Note - To make these examples work, you must make sure the three libcurl DLLs (libcurl.dll, libeay32.dll & libssl32.dll) are present in the same folder as the examples.

 

Example #1 - Reading HTML from a webpage.

 

 

#include <cURL.au3>

; Initialise cURL
cURL_initialise()

; Return the HTML from "http://www.autoitscript.com/site"
$response = cURL_easy("http://www.autoitscript.com/site/")

; Output the response to the console
ConsoleWrite("HTTP Response Code = " & $response[0] & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("HTTP Response Headers = " & $response[1] & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("HTTP Response Data = " & $response[2] & @CRLF)

; Clean up cURL
cURL_cleanup()

 

Example #2 - Reading a binary file from a website.

 

 

#include <cURL.au3>

; Initialise cURL
cURL_initialise()

; Output the file from "http://web.aanet.com.au/seangriffin/content/computing/development/eBay%20Bargain%20Hunter%20setup.exe" to "tmp.exe"
cURL_easy("http://web.aanet.com.au/seangriffin/content/computing/development/eBay%20Bargain%20Hunter%20setup.exe", "", 0, 1, "tmp.exe")

; Clean up cURL
cURL_cleanup()

 

Example #3 - Reading HTML from a webpage, and writing the cookie to a file.

 

 

#include <cURL.au3>

; Initialise cURL
cURL_initialise()

; Return the response from "http://www.about.com", and the cookie to the file "cookie.txt"
$response = cURL_easy("http://www.about.com", "cookie.txt", 2)

; Output the response to the console
ConsoleWrite("HTTP Response Code = " & $response[0] & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("HTTP Response Headers = " & $response[1] & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("HTTP Response Data = " & $response[2] & @CRLF)

; Clean up cURL
cURL_cleanup()

 

DOWNLOAD:

 

Recent Version of libcurl.dll, libeay32.dll & libssl32.dll (required)

http://fossies.org/windows/www/curl-7.24.0-ssl-sspi-zlib-static-bin-w32.zip

 

Latest Version - v0.3 (03/04/16)

Can you provide us direct link the the dlls??? Thanks

Hi matwachich,

Good idea. I've included both a link to the libcurl author's site (http://curl.haxx.se), and a direct link to a recent copy of the libcurl DLLs, in my post at the top.

Cheers,

Sean

Indee is a good idea, although I cannot get the example to work .

i said: simple!

As i can see, the example provided connects to "Jazz" on socket 9443, i don't even know what is this program

I meant that he should have provided a simple example, that will work for every body, even who don't have this Jazz

Sorry for that poor example - I've removed it. It would only work on my computer anyway if a product named "Rational Quality Manager" installed. I developed the UDF to allow me to use cURL with that product's API.

I tried a url to a binary data (a file on my webserver) and it don't work!

A solution???

Thanx!

Hi matwachich,

My fault. I put a "BinaryToString" call in the UDF to convert all output back to text. I overlooked the case where users might actually want a binary output. I will probably add another parameter to specify output type, and default it to text (because I think that will be the popular option).

You've made me realise I should add more features though. Like file input and output.

I guess cURL does a hell of alot. I've only just scratched the service.

I'll come up with a new version with a text / binary option, and file input and output at least. Hope to have it ready soon.

Cheers,

Sean.

Version 0.2 is now available for download.

Changes include:

  • Made $url the first parameter for cURL_easy().
  • Replaced all cookie parameters with $cookie_action and $cookie_file.
  • Added $output_type and $output_file parameters.
No input file support yet for HTTP requests, only output file.

got same problem.

EDIT: was reading other examples and find that:

Dlls are 32bit. That means you have to run 32bit AutoIt when using them.

BTW is there any way to get content from a site that generate it from JS?

With cURL in linux you are able to poll a website for it's html output content, so anything displayed in the html will get pulled down if the UDF has the right functions for it.

hi Sean,

Nice, an easy to use function :bye: , libcurl usage usually tends to become technical.

Do you have plans to make this into a full fledged libcurl wrapper UDF?

If so, I have wrapped quite a bit of libcurl's dll functions (at one time or the other), I'm sure I can lend a hand, or maybe I should whip them into the UDF standards and make a new thread for a libcurl UDF :oops:

Regards,

smartee

Hi smartee,

I would love to get your input yes. I have limited time on UDF work these days and only started this one because I had a great need for it at work. But because I'm using it each day I'm happy to spend time on it.

Something I do urgently need in the UDF is multi mode support. It currently only supports easy mode, and as I'm finding easy mode is blocking certain activities in Windows 32-bit when it runs, and slows my computer such that I can't get much work done. Apparently multi mode fixes this. Do you have any solution for multi mode? Maybe we can split the UDF into two modes.

Cheers, Sean.
