<p class="level0"><a name="NAME"></a><h2 class="nroffsh">NAME</h2>
<p class="level0">libcurl-errors - error codes in libcurl <a name="DESCRIPTION"></a><h2 class="nroffsh">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p class="level0">This man page includes most, if not all, available error codes in libcurl. Why they occur and possibly what you can do to fix the problem are also included. <a name="CURLcode"></a><h2 class="nroffsh">CURLcode</h2>
<p class="level0">Almost all "easy" interface functions return a CURLcode error code. No matter what, using the <a class="emphasis" href="./curl_easy_setopt.html">curl_easy_setopt(3)</a> option <span Class="emphasis">CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER</span> is a good idea as it will give you a human readable error string that may offer more details about the cause of the error than just the error code. <a class="emphasis" href="./curl_easy_strerror.html">curl_easy_strerror(3)</a> can be called to get an error string from a given CURLcode number.
<p class="level0">CURLcode is one of the following:
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLEOK"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_OK (0)</span>
<p class="level1">All fine. Proceed as usual.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLEUNSUPPORTEDPROTOCOL"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL (1)</span>
<p class="level1">The URL you passed to libcurl used a protocol that this libcurl does not support. The support might be a compile-time option that you didn't use, it can be a misspelled protocol string or just a protocol libcurl has no code for.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLEFAILEDINIT"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_FAILED_INIT (2)</span>
<p class="level1">Very early initialization code failed. This is likely to be an internal error or problem, or a resource problem where something fundamental couldn't get done at init time.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLEURLMALFORMAT"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_URL_MALFORMAT (3)</span>
<p class="level1">The URL was not properly formatted.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLENOTBUILTIN"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN (4)</span>
<p class="level1">A requested feature, protocol or option was not found built-in in this libcurl due to a build-time decision. This means that a feature or option was not enabled or explicitly disabled when libcurl was built and in order to get it to function you have to get a rebuilt libcurl.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLECOULDNTRESOLVEPROXY"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_PROXY (5)</span>
<p class="level1">Couldn't resolve proxy. The given proxy host could not be resolved.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLECOULDNTRESOLVEHOST"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_HOST (6)</span>
<p class="level1">Couldn't resolve host. The given remote host was not resolved.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLECOULDNTCONNECT"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_COULDNT_CONNECT (7)</span>
<p class="level1">Failed to connect() to host or proxy.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLEFTPWEIRDSERVERREPLY"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_SERVER_REPLY (8)</span>
<p class="level1">After connecting to a FTP server, libcurl expects to get a certain reply back. This error code implies that it got a strange or bad reply. The given remote server is probably not an OK FTP server.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLEREMOTEACCESSDENIED"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_REMOTE_ACCESS_DENIED (9)</span>
<p class="level1">We were denied access to the resource given in the URL. For FTP, this occurs while trying to change to the remote directory.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLEFTPACCEPTFAILED"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_FTP_ACCEPT_FAILED (10)</span>
<p class="level1">While waiting for the server to connect back when an active FTP session is used, an error code was sent over the control connection or similar.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLEFTPWEIRDPASSREPLY"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_PASS_REPLY (11)</span>
<p class="level1">After having sent the FTP password to the server, libcurl expects a proper reply. This error code indicates that an unexpected code was returned.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLEFTPACCEPTTIMEOUT"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_FTP_ACCEPT_TIMEOUT (12)</span>
<p class="level1">During an active FTP session while waiting for the server to connect, the <span Class="emphasis">CURLOPT_ACCEPTTIMOUT_MS</span> (or the internal default) timeout expired.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLEFTPWEIRDPASVREPLY"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_PASV_REPLY (13)</span>
<p class="level1">libcurl failed to get a sensible result back from the server as a response to either a PASV or a EPSV command. The server is flawed.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLEFTPWEIRD227FORMAT"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_227_FORMAT (14)</span>
<p class="level1">FTP servers return a 227-line as a response to a PASV command. If libcurl fails to parse that line, this return code is passed back.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLEFTPCANTGETHOST"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_FTP_CANT_GET_HOST (15)</span>
<p class="level1">An internal failure to lookup the host used for the new connection.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLEFTPCOULDNTSETTYPE"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_SET_TYPE (17)</span>
<p class="level1">Received an error when trying to set the transfer mode to binary or ASCII.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLEPARTIALFILE"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_PARTIAL_FILE (18)</span>
<p class="level1">A file transfer was shorter or larger than expected. This happens when the server first reports an expected transfer size, and then delivers data that doesn't match the previously given size.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLEFTPCOULDNTRETRFILE"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_RETR_FILE (19)</span>
<p class="level1">This was either a weird reply to a 'RETR' command or a zero byte transfer complete.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLEQUOTEERROR"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_QUOTE_ERROR (21)</span>
<p class="level1">When sending custom "QUOTE" commands to the remote server, one of the commands returned an error code that was 400 or higher (for FTP) or otherwise indicated unsuccessful completion of the command.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLEHTTPRETURNEDERROR"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_HTTP_RETURNED_ERROR (22)</span>
<p class="level1">This is returned if CURLOPT_FAILONERROR is set TRUE and the HTTP server returns an error code that is &gt;= 400.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLEWRITEERROR"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_WRITE_ERROR (23)</span>
<p class="level1">An error occurred when writing received data to a local file, or an error was returned to libcurl from a write callback.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLEUPLOADFAILED"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_UPLOAD_FAILED (25)</span>
<p class="level1">Failed starting the upload. For FTP, the server typically denied the STOR command. The error buffer usually contains the server's explanation for this.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLEREADERROR"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_READ_ERROR (26)</span>
<p class="level1">There was a problem reading a local file or an error returned by the read callback.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLEOUTOFMEMORY"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY (27)</span>
<p class="level1">A memory allocation request failed. This is serious badness and things are severely screwed up if this ever occurs.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLEOPERATIONTIMEDOUT"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_OPERATION_TIMEDOUT (28)</span>
<p class="level1">Operation timeout. The specified time-out period was reached according to the conditions.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLEFTPPORTFAILED"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_FTP_PORT_FAILED (30)</span>
<p class="level1">The FTP PORT command returned error. This mostly happens when you haven't specified a good enough address for libcurl to use. See <span Class="emphasis">CURLOPT_FTPPORT</span>.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLEFTPCOULDNTUSEREST"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_USE_REST (31)</span>
<p class="level1">The FTP REST command returned error. This should never happen if the server is sane.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLERANGEERROR"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_RANGE_ERROR (33)</span>
<p class="level1">The server does not support or accept range requests.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLEHTTPPOSTERROR"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_HTTP_POST_ERROR (34)</span>
<p class="level1">This is an odd error that mainly occurs due to internal confusion.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLESSLCONNECTERROR"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_SSL_CONNECT_ERROR (35)</span>
<p class="level1">A problem occurred somewhere in the SSL/TLS handshake. You really want the error buffer and read the message there as it pinpoints the problem slightly more. Could be certificates (file formats, paths, permissions), passwords, and others.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLEBADDOWNLOADRESUME"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_BAD_DOWNLOAD_RESUME (36)</span>
<p class="level1">The download could not be resumed because the specified offset was out of the file boundary.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLEFILECOULDNTREADFILE"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_FILE_COULDNT_READ_FILE (37)</span>
<p class="level1">A file given with FILE:// couldn't be opened. Most likely because the file path doesn't identify an existing file. Did you check file permissions?
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLELDAPCANNOTBIND"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_LDAP_CANNOT_BIND (38)</span>
<p class="level1">LDAP cannot bind. LDAP bind operation failed.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLELDAPSEARCHFAILED"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_LDAP_SEARCH_FAILED (39)</span>
<p class="level1">LDAP search failed.

<p class="level0"><a name="CURLEBADFUNCTIONARGUMENT"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_BAD_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT (43)</span>
<p class="level1">Internal error. A function was called with a bad parameter.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLEINTERFACEFAILED"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_INTERFACE_FAILED (45)</span>
<p class="level1">Interface error. A specified outgoing interface could not be used. Set which interface to use for outgoing connections' source IP address with CURLOPT_INTERFACE.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLETOOMANYREDIRECTS"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS (47)</span>
<p class="level1">Too many redirects. When following redirects, libcurl hit the maximum amount. Set your limit with CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLEUNKNOWNOPTION"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION (48)</span>
<p class="level1">An option passed to libcurl is not recognized/known. Refer to the appropriate documentation. This is most likely a problem in the program that uses libcurl. The error buffer might contain more specific information about which exact option it concerns.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLETELNETOPTIONSYNTAX"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLE_TELNET_OPTION_SYNTAX (49)</span>
<p class="level1">A telnet option string was Illegally formatted.
