Let cURL do his work now, by call this function.

Syntax

curl_perform(curl handler[, table callbackfunctions])

Required arguments

  • curl The curl handler

Optional arguments

  • callbackfunctions A set with callback functions;
local callbacks = {
    writefunction = function(data)
        -- This is the actual return data from the call
    end,
    headerfunction = function(data)
        -- This is the return headers from the call. (the webserver you call sends those headers back)
    end
}

Returns

curl = curl_init();
if not curl then
    outputDebugString("Can't connect to http://mtasa.com/ with cURL");
else
    curl_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, curl_escape(curl, "http://mtasa.com/"));
    curl_perform(curl, {
        writefunction = function(html)

        end,
    });
