Level up your URL transfer skills and learn how to use libcurl more effectively in modern applications.
Join us for a practical walkthrough of libcurl with curl founder Daniel Stenberg. libcurl is powerful, but small mistakes in API usage or transfer handling can lead to fragile code and hard-to-debug issues. This session focuses on how libcurl is designed to be used, common pitfalls developers run into, and practical patterns that make networking code more reliable and scalable.

What is curl/libcurl
curl and libcurl are widely used, open-source tools for transferring data with URLs, powering everything from embedded devices to large-scale applications. librucl is the client-side library behind curl, supporting a broad set of protocols, including HTTP/3, HTTPS, FTP(S), FILE, and more, and running on virtually every platform.
Ask the Expert: Q&A with wolfSSL Engineers
We asked our presenter, curl founder Daniel Stenberg, a few questions about what attendees can expect:
Q: How is libcurl designed, and what’s the best way to approach its APIs?
A: libcurl is built to be versatile and reliable across platforms and protocols. I recommend understanding the core design principles first, which makes using the easy interface and API more intuitive.
Q: What are the common mistakes developers make, and how do I avoid them?
A: Many problems come from mishandling transfers or ignoring subtle return codes. I advise paying attention to handling management and using built-in debugging features to catch issues early.
Q: How should I handle parallel transfers, threading, and complex URL scenarios?
A: Using the multi interface correctly lets you run multiple transfers efficiently, even in threaded environments. Understanding URL parsing and concurrency considerations helps prevent race conditions and unexpected behavior.
