Working with cURL

[John Spikowski]

This thread will be about using ScriptBasic and the cURL extension module. The first example is what I call my Hello Me cURL example. This is also included in the extension module test scripts I posted in the Resources thread.

Code: Script BASIC

1. ' MyIP
2.  
3. IMPORT curl.bas
4.  
5. ch = curl::init()
6. curl::option(ch,"URL","ipinfo.io")
7. PRINT curl::perform(ch),"\n"
8.  
9. curl::finish(ch)
10.  

Output
