Hi.

'm trying to use the libcurl library to make https calls within an indesign plugin.
I have downloaded the library from the official website and in principle I have configured the plug-in included in the general option of the linker the directory where the libcurl libraries are and in the general option of c/c++ the inclusion directory where the * .h from libcurl.
When I include in the code.

#include "VCPlugInHeaders.h"
#include "Connection_CURL.h"
#include <curl/curl.h>

and I try to compile it gives an error.
Has anyone used the libcurl library for windows 64 within an indesign plugin?
Thank you.

    Hi,

    Please double check the linker and include directories configuration for libcurl in your project setting and once go through using libcurl.

    Hi @israelp20923262 ,

     

    Libcurl is a popular library and you can find thousands of examples using libcurl on googling.

     

    Yes, you can use it with InDesign Plugin Windows 64 and that is no problem.

     

    If you are using it for the first time then I suggest you create  console application and try using the library. This way you would be more confident and then you can integrate it with InDesign.

     

    Also, you have not mention what error message you are getting ?

     

    Are you using static library or Dll ?

    curl_easy_init();
    CURL *curl;
    CURLcode res = CURLE_OK;
    curl = curl_easy_init();
    if (curl) {
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE, CURL_IPRESOLVE_V6);
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://curl.se/");
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
    printf("Version with SSL backend '%s':\n\n\t%s\n", "Prueba", curl_version());
    }
