I am curious about the manpage statement "This function can only be called once". Shouldn't this be something more like "This function can only be used to select an SSL library once."
Correct. I'll edit that paragraph.
Is the avail list a list of all possible libcurl backends or a list of backends supported by the current library or a the valid libraries on the current system?
It returns the list that this specific build supports. In a future that might return SSL backends we don't even know the name of today.
I suspect the first case, given there appear to be CURLSSLBACKEND_* defines for each library. This is also the only sane way the ID#s in the example could be stable? They don't change, do they?
Right, they are fixed and will never change.
"If the specified SSL backend is not available, the function returns CURLSSLSET_UNKNOWN_BACKEND and sets the "avail" pointer to a NULL-terminated list of available SSL backends." Would it be correct to follow this with "In this case, you may call the function again to try to select a different backend."??
Exactly. I've edited the man page now to clarify all these points. Thanks! -- / daniel.haxx.se ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: https://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: https://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
