Welcome to the forum!

Here is the link to the Script BASIC cURL extension module documentation.

I will try to post an example for you when I get a moment.

[Script_test]

Code: [Select]

Import "c:\scriptbasic\include\curl.bas"
Import "c:\scriptbasic\include\cio.bas"
on error goto CURL_ERROR_CURL

CURL = curl::init()
curl::Option CURL,"CONNECTTIMEOUT",110
curl::option CURL,"FRESH_CONNECT"
curl::option Curl,"BUFFER_SIZE",1024
curl::option CURL,"MAXREDIRS",7

curl::option CURL,"REFERER","https://www.google.com"

curl::option CURL,"USERAGENT","Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:47.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/47.0"

curl::option CURL,"COOKIEFILE","cookies.txt"

curl::option CURL,"URL","https://www.google.com"

curl::option CURL,"FILE","file.txt"

curl::perform CURL

curl::finish CURL
stop


rem ====================

CURL_ERROR_CURL:
PRINT "Some error happened while trying to download ScriptBasic home page. The error message is:\n"
PRINT curl::error()


STOP


curl::option CURL,"URL","https://www.google.com"


without the https protocol works correctly but fails https (error code: (0): error &H72: Built in function has too few arguments)

https: support is a libcurl related option. You may want to try a search for libcurll and https usage.

I'm trying to free up some time to have a closer look at this for you.

Can somebody help me?

I gave it a try on Windows 7 and it said my libcurl.dll wasn't found.  I have upgraded my laptop and still migrating my development environment to it. (Linux 64 & Win7 32 bit in a VirtualBox)

I will try to have another look at it today. Unfortunately I'm overwhelmed with real life issues at the moment and can't spend the time I would like with my free time open source efforts. I will do my best to help get us beyond this Windows/ cURL issue.

I found a set of Windows 32 bit libcurl DLLs and was able to run your example with an extension error using a https based site. I really think this is a Window cURL SSL issue and not a fault with the Script BASIC extension. I'm not sure yet what the error code being returned actually is.

(0): error 0x0008113c:Extension specific error: %s

My guess at this point is the SSL version of the libcurl.dll requires other DLLs to work with HTTPS / SSL sites. These seemed to be included with the Linux version of the library.

This LIBCURL.DLL seems to work fine under Windows 7 32 bit.

[Script_test]

Yes!! It is working !.
Thank you very much!

Glad I can help and I hope you enjoy Script BASIC.
