cURL is a tool for getting files from FTP, HTTP, Gopher, Telnet, and Dict servers, using any of the supported protocols. The cURL API, and consequently, the python bindings for cURL, do not provide textual messages for errors. Therefore, all applications that use the python bindings for cURL will return errors in formats such as:
Pycurl Error 6 - ""
instead of more useful messages such as:
Pycurl Error 6 - "Could not resolve hostname: blah.example.com"
cURL error codes can be manually interpreted by reading the
/usr/include/curl/curl.h
file.
