The new release of our FileMaker plugin includes an option to set some of the various curl options, used whenever the plugin performs a HTTP function call. Although there is a complete list of options that curl provides, not all options are supported by the plugin.
( As an aside, if you’re wondering what curl is and why any of this is interesting ; Curl is a code library that provides lots of networking protocol code that other applications often re-use. We use it as the basis for the GET and HTTP functions in our plugin and in fact FileMaker itself also uses it. Open the “FMP Acknowledgements.pdf” file that comes with the latest version of FMP and search for “libcurl”. Having this library means each application doesn’t have to write its own networking stack from scratch.
The options we’re referring to are a whole set of extra flags you can send to curl to change its behaviour. From simple things like a login name, or port number to much more technical details about timeouts and sockets. These things can be very useful in altering the way that http functions are performed. )
Curl options are set with :
BE_Curl_Set_Option ( option ; value )
The function itself doesn’t return any value, but you can use BE_GetLastError to get any results. Two notable possible results are 11 for options it doesn’t know about, and 13000 for options it does know about but can’t handle.
So the complete list of options that we are attempting to handle are :
