Filter Libcurl Debug Message


Is it possible to filter debug data function text? I want to display commands at one time and full output at the other (I want for example to filter out Adding handle: send: 0). All the time I get a lot of messages. I want something nice like Filezilla Short messages .

Here is my code for debug function and below it a message. I have verbose enabled

int Uploader::DebugDataCallBack(CURL* handle, curl_infotype infotype, char* msg, size_t size, void* f)
{
    int level= 1; //debug info 0-None, 1-necessary 2 - All TODO: Should come from config
    switch(level) //error level
    {
        case 0:
        {
            break; //do nothing
        }
        case 1:
        {
            //only necessary, skip headers
            if(infotype==CURLINFO_TEXT)
            {
                static_cast<Uploader*>(f)->SendMessage(wxString(msg));
            }
        }
        default:
        {
            //full debug messages
            static_cast<Uploader*>(f)->SendMessage(wxString(msg));
        }
    }

    return 0;//must return 0
}

Solution

  • First Enable curl by putting verbose to 1L that is CURLOPT_VERBOSE in curl_easy_setopt. Theb set the debug function, that is CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION to receive the debug messages. Then use codes infotypes to filter out what you want. If you want to get command/response like I wanted just take message from Header in/out. Here is piece of code just to show it!

    switch(infotype)
    {
        case CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT:
        {
            wxString message = _("COMMAND: ")+wxString(msg);
            SendMessage(message);
            break; 
        }
        case CURLINFO_HEADER_IN:
        {
            wxString message = _("RESPONSE: ")+wxString(msg);
            SendMessage(message);
            break;
        }
    

    }
